Line blast caught by Yuli.
Mid 7
2-0 Astros
Altuve down 0-2, slider away 1-2, FB up 2-2, doubles into the corner.
Elevated breaking ball got smacked.
That was fun to watch. Altuve couldnāt have read that better.
Yuli drills Sands with a comebacker.
Altuve stays put.
Sands leaves the game.
This is taking too long.
Ouch. Liner of the pitching elbow - no way you stay in after that.
Rough night for Twins pitching changes.
That has to be a pitchers nightmare.
Since Iām now free to join the conversation without the jinxā¦on the mound visit thingā¦I think it was Baldelli talked to G. Sanchez who then went and talked to A. Sanchez. By rule, thatās a mound visit. Everyone, including the Twins broadcasters noticed it right away, and the umpire clearly signaled to the Twins bench that it was a mound visit.
There are some freaks that sit in the 130s.
I didnāt see the benches clearing earlier. Was there some reason Sanchez would have intentionally hit Altuve?
No, and Altuve didnāt say anything until Sanchez started chirping.
My theory is that Altuve actually wanted to stay and hit, and Sanchez interpreted that frustration as being aimed at him.
I donāt think so.
TK and Blum didnāt think so either.
It was weird. Only time I recall Altuve chirping at an opposing pitcher.
Yes looked like Jose was responding as he approached 1st.
But he threw looks at Aaron immediately.
Yordanās parents are in the stands tonight. Fantastic

I feel like the only person that has never seen yordan hit a HR in a game. It makes me sad.
This is the first time Yordanās family has seen him play in the big leagues.
Alvarez grounds into a 6U-3 dp.
Altuve to 3rd.
Yordan needs to get his shit together.
