The team with four hits beat the team with eight hits. Its a good thing for the Astros today that the winning team in baseball is the one with the most runs, not the most hits.
The Twins had eight hits, seven singles and one double, but left 11 men on base. They were 2-12 with runners in scoring position, and only got an RBI out of one of those hits. So with eight hits the Twins only got one run.
The Astros only got four hits, but two of them were the 4 bag variety, Alex Bregman’s in the first, his 28th, and Yuli Gurriel’s in the fourth, and those count more.
