The Minnesota Twins open a new series with the Houston Astros at Target Field on Thursday, looking to extend their winning streak to three games.
After 0-4 start, the Twins finally seized a breakthrough with back-to-back wins over the Chicago White Sox in Game 2 and 3 of their series. Minnesota unleashed a two-pronged attack as they generated 14 runs and stifled to the White Sox to four runs over the last two games. Harrison Bader comes out of that series as the Twins’ new batting leader with a .250 batting average, 3 home runs and 8 RBIs.
On the flipside, the Astros lost all three games of their series against the San Francisco Giants, sending their record to 2-4. With Justin Verlander and Yusei Kikuchi now pitching for their new teams, Houston’s pitching rotation is at its weakest in years with Framber Valdez now serving as their ace.
