Astros @ Twins, May 18, 2026

Imai on the hill

HR by Josh Bell and it’s 1-0 Twins, middle of three

Astros had bases loaded, nobody out in the first. Got squat.

Astros down quickly in the fourth

1-0 Twins

Larnach with a routine chopper to 3B, no one there on the shift

Imai balks him to 2B

And Bell drills another HR.

End of four…3-0 Twins.

Four innings from Imai without a walk? Fuck it, I’ll take it.

Well, that sucks. I was about to compliment Imai for doing a better job tonight, but that’s frustrating. Doing better with walks, though, so there’s that.

Well, the balk cost him two runs. It’s one thing or the other.

Matthews with a leadoff bun single.

Cam…3-0…3-1…3-2…flies out F9

Vazquez…3-0…3-1…walks. Matthews to 2B

Peña, of course, swinging at the first pitch, lines to 3B

Paredes hacks out n a pitch that bounces in front of the plate. Astros strand two more…that’s five LOB

3-0 Twins.

It’s started to sprinkle, so they’re rolling out the tarp. We’re in rain delay.

Josh Bell with another RBI makes it 4-0 twinkies B6.

6-0 twinkies on a bloop single to LF by Keaschell.
5 consecutive batters for Minnesota have reached.

This thing has come undone/plowed into the side of the mountain fast after the rain delay.
Story of the 2026 Astros season.

Yet another hit but somehow the Astros get an out rather than giving up a run.

I don’t know who the hell Jayden Murray is but I don’t like him.

His name is Jayden, so that’s a red flag.
