Twins Swept by Astros, Fade Away in Race for October

The Minnesota Twins were swept by the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. The Twins' offense never really broke out of their prolonged slump, scoring just eight runs in the three losses. Jorge Polanco hit a solo homer in the first inning Thursday but it wasn't enough to support Chris Archer, who allowed five runs in four innings. Carlos Correa went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. The Twins are now only one game above .500 and return home for a six-game home-stand against the Giants and Red Sox. It's now or never.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
