Astros Hand Twins 8-5 Loss
Houston and Minnesota duked it out and the Astros came out victorious.

The Houston Astros downed the Minnesota Twins, 8-5, at Target Field. The Astros were led by Alex Lobato. Lobato went 3-5 with a triple and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Ruben Blanco earned his 34th save in 35 chances.

Houston used a clutch at-bat from Andrew Cusanelli to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Astros ahead, 5-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Cusanelli said.

The win elevated the Astros to 62-54.
