Season series: Twins lead 3-1
The Twins took Monday’s series opener 7-5 in 10 innings. They had a 4-1 lead until Houston went up 5-4 in the 7th inning. Minnesota tied it in the 9th and plated 2 in the 10th to seal the deal. The Twins haven’t been able to gain much traction at 4-6, 9-11 and 14-16 over the last 10, 20 and 30 games, respectively.
Houston is 7-3 over the last 10, but that’s a little deceiving because 6 of those wins were against the futile Oakland Athletics. The Astros are just 6-8 against the AL Central thus far and are a so-so 14-12 at home.
