Norichika Aoki hit a two-run homer against his former team Sunday for his first hit since being traded to the Toronto Blue Jays six days previously, but the visitors suffered a 7-6 walkoff defeat to the Houston Astros.
With Toronto down 3-2 in the top of the seventh, Aoki, who made his first start as a Blue Jay in his return to Minute Maid Park and had struck out in his first two at-bats, connected off Astros starter Mike Fiers to turn the game around and spark a four-run seventh.
"I got my first hit since I moved to Toronto and it was a home run so I'm really happy about that," said Aoki.
