Carlos Correa and Yuli Gurriel slugged two-run home runs, and Jose Urquidy delivered seven strong innings as the Houston Astros defeated the visiting Toronto Blue Jays 10-4 on Friday.

Correa and Gurriel both socked their fifth home run of the season in support of Urquidy (3-2), who won his third consecutive start and allowed two or fewer runs for the fifth time in seven starts.

The Astros opened their season-high, 10-game homestand by banging out 15 hits, with Gurriel finishing 4-for-4 with four RBIs.

Correa erased a 1-0 deficit with his 397-foot shot off the left field foul pole in the second inning, plating Gurriel, who opened with a single off Toronto right-hander Ross Stripling (0-2). The Astros sent nine batters to the plate and scored three runs in the inning, which ended only when Stripling got a generous called third strike against Yordan Alvarez with the bases loaded.

Gurriel homered for his third hit of the game in the fifth. It came with Alvarez on board after a single. The 392-foot line drive into the left field seats stretched the lead to 5-2. It was Gurriel's 12th multi-hit game of the season.

He added a single in the seventh that knocked in Alex Bregman, giving him his fifth career four-hit game.

Bregman had three hits, and Alvarez and Jose Altuve had two apiece. The top five hitters in the Houston lineup finished a combined 12-for-21 with eight runs, three walks and seven RBIs.

The Blue Jays slugged a pair of solo homers off Urquidy. Bo Bichette smacked his club-leading eighth with one out in the first, a 392-foot blast to left-center. Danny Jansen added his second home run of the season, both in the last two games, with one out in the third to cut the deficit in half at 3-2.

Urquidy allowed a double after Jansen's homer but settled down and surrendered just two additional baserunners in his outing. He retired the final eight batters he faced and wound up allowing four hits with a walk and two strikeouts on 84 pitches.

Stripling went 3 2/3 innings, giving up three runs on six hits. He walked three, struck out three and threw a season-high 82 pitches in his fourth start of the season.
