Astros Come Back Late to Top Twins
Houston and Minnesota duked it out at Target Field and the Astros came out victorious.

Ian Kinsler did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Minnesota Twins from losing, 9-6, to the Houston Astros at Target Field. Kinsler was 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The win was Tony Zych's in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Tommy Kahnle took the loss for Minnesota. A.J. Minter closed it out for his 2nd save.

Colin Moran helped out the Houston cause in the top of the eighth inning with a 2-run single. For the game, the third baseman went 1-4 with a hit by pitch, while adding 2 RBI.

"We'll savor this win," Moran told the Houston Chronicle, "then get ready for the next game."

The Twins fall to 4-6 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2018 season.
