Jose Altuve hit a three-run homer and Alex Bregman added three RBIs in the 10-4 victory by Houston over the Minnesota Twins Tuesday.
Eddie Rosario had given the Twins an early lead with a three-run homer in the first inning, but the loss ended a four game win streak.
The game was tied in the seventh when Trevor Hildenberger (2-1) allowed a single to Tyler White before issuing consecutive walks to Altuve and George Springer to load the bases with one out. Bregman’s sacrifice fly to right field put Houston up 5-4 and chased Hildenberger.
Adalberto Mejia took over and the Astros added an insurance run on an RBI single by Michael Brantley. The Astros turned a close game into a rout with a four-run eighth highlighted by Altuve’s ninth home run this season.
