Astros Roll Over Twins, 10-4
Houston third baseman Colin Moran played a vital role in his team's 10-4 triumph over Minnesota. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Houston. The Twins fall to 4-7 and continue their wobbly start to the 2018 season.

Houston used the bat of Bradley Zimmer to get the win. The center fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the second inning to put the Astros ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 6 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Houston skipper Eric Myers.
