Twins Top Astros in Extras, 6-4
The Minnesota Twins picked up a win at Minute Maid Park, taking down the Houston Astros, 6-4. Starting pitcher Jarred Flax was a big reason why. Paul Bowen notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. His record now sits at 5-1. The Twins lead the American League Central Division by 2 games.

Minnesota used the timely hitting of Mike Montgomery to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Twins on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Exciting game to play in," said Flax. "Getting the win makes it even better."
