Maybe Ryan Pressly’s days as an effective reliever are done.
That doesn’t mean the Astros can’t score more than two or three runs once in a while.
The game looked winnable after the second inning. Although the Twins jumped to an early two-run lead with one run each in the first and second innings, the Astros took the lead after a solo Victor Caratini homer in the second and a two-run bomb by red-hot Breggy in the third inning.
After his usual sluggish early innings, Astros starter Hunter Brown settled down nicely, not allowing another run until the sixth inning, when Jose Miranda tied the score with a solo homer, the second since Trevor Larnach’s in the first inning.
