Astros Take Tight Tangle
|
The Houston Astros racked up a win at Minute Maid Park, bumping off the Minnesota Twins, 4-3. Humberto Valenzuela, who started for Houston, pitched effectively for his team. Valenzuela yielded 3 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 3, and struck out 5. His record improves to 7-1. The Astros now have a record of 31-17 with the win over Minnesota.
The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Travis Gibb came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Minnesota pitcher Juan Leyvas, he hit a 1-1 cutter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Houston on top, 4-3.
"When you have a good rhythm and good flow, it's nice to just go out there and pound the strike zone with confidence," said Valenzuela.
