FINAL: Twins 5, #Astros 4

What happened: The Minnesota Twins and Houston Astros continue their series in Houston. Minnesota arrives on a two-game winning streak, while Houston has alternated results across its last five games. The two clubs have crossed paths repeatedly in recent weeks, keeping the matchup fresh for both sides.

Why it matters: Both teams sit below .500 — Minnesota at 41-45 and Houston at 42-45 — leaving little margin as the American League picture tightens. Houston has been chasing outfield help as the AL West race stays close, adding stakes to every divisional and interleague test.

By the numbers: Minnesota has taken three of the last four meetings between the clubs, including a 5-4 result on June 29. Over their last five games the Twins are 3-2, averaging 4.8 runs scored and 5.2 allowed; the Astros are 3-2, averaging 4.5 scored and 5.0 allowed.

What to watch: Watch whether Minnesota can carry its two-game streak forward against an Astros club fighting to stay in the AL West chase.
