Remember 48 hours ago, all the doubters who didn’t give the Astros a hint of a chance? They and their 9-23 road record against the Twins MLB-best 24-7 mark, why even play the games?
WRONG. Houston has shocked the sporting world, winning both games at Target Field in nearly identical fashion, including a 3-1 triumph Wednesday afternoon. They did it thanks to outstanding pitching from this very young staff, as well as continued contributions from Kyle Tucker, who has simply been in fuego for six weeks.
Believe it or not, the Astros have ended the Twins’ season in the minimum two games needed to win a best-of-three series.
