Twins Edge Astros in Thriller | Minnesota Twins News

The Minnesota Twins pulled off a dramatic 5-4 win over the surging Houston Astros, thanks to back-to-back homers from Royce Lewis and Victor Caratini and a strong seven-inning outing from Zebby Matthews. After building a five-run lead, the Twins held on through a tense ninth inning, where the Astros’ late homers brought the game to the brink—but the Twins’ bullpen sealed it. Houston, riding a five-game win streak and boasting the AL’s best June record, saw shortstop Jeremy Peña sit out with leg discomfort. Meanwhile, the Twins placed reliever Anthony Banda on the IL with a lat strain and recalled Cody Laweryson. Houston also got a bright spot with Miguel Ullola’s scoreless debut. The teams square off again tonight, with Twins’ Joe Ryan facing Astros’ Mike Burrows in a must-watch rematch.
