Altuve takes some frustration out on the baseball after his 5k performance in the last game. Homers on the second pitch
Good first for Spaghetti. Correa lined one right at Paredes, some good luck there, but otherwise still cruising like his first outing.
Astros put the first two on in the second, then thud
Decent AB for Rodgers, crap AB for Smith.
7-pitch second for Arrighetti. Twins looked blind on a couple of those swings. Just think about how this guy looked a year ago. He had no business being in the majors and got the shit kicked out of him every time out, until he didn’t.
I kinda wish we hadn’t traded Wilyer Abreu for Christian
Vasquez a few years back.
Arrighetti starts off the third with back to back walks to the 8 and 9 hitters.
Arrighetti works around the walks, after three…1-0 Astros
You did not then. Vazquez was good.
Peña with a 2-out knock, his second hit of the day
Vazquez was a very good acquisition and a key part of that 2022 World Series team.
Peña swipes 2B
Rodgers walks, two on, two out for Smith…
And Smith carved up. Still 1-0 Astros
Buxton leads off the Twins’ fourth by getting drilled on the hand
Buxton steals 2B, and Larnach walks
France singles to LF, Altuve kicks it, Buxton scores on the E7
welp.
Twins’ first hit ties it up
Castro down on strikes for the first out
