Houston Astros (19-30) at Minnesota Twins (22-26) — Game Preview
Houston brings a 19-30 record into Target Field where Minnesota sits at 22-26 with a 4.32 staff ERA against the Astros’ .250 lineup. Lance McCullers Jr. opens for Houston with a 6.86 ERA across 39.1 innings, opposite Zebby Matthews for the Twins. Yordan Alvarez is the engine of the Astros offense at .316 with 15 home runs, a .633 slugging percentage and 31 RBI — the kind of run-producer who can flip a game by himself. Christian Walker has matched him with 31 RBI and 11 home runs of his own. For Minnesota, Josh Bell has chipped in 28 RBI from the DH spot at .223. Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober anchor the home rotation at a 3.20 and 3.63 ERA respectively, with 52 and 40 strikeouts on their ledgers. The Twins will look for Zebby Matthews to build on his strong early-season line against an Astros lineup hitting .250, while keeping Yordan Alvarez from changing the game with one swing.
