The Astros dropped three games below .500 for the first time since April 21, 2021.
Minnesota starter Joe Ryan became the third starting pitcher in nine games to strike out at least 10 Astros hitters. Only four starters accomplished the feat all last season.Houston struck out 17 times on Saturday after punching out 16 times in the series-opener on Friday. Former Astros catcher Christian Vázquez chased home the go-ahead run with a sixth-inning single before the Twins blew the game open with a four-run eighth inning against Ronel Blanco.
Alvarez annihilated a first-pitch fastball from Minnesota starter Joe Ryan, who realized upon impact the damage Alvarez inflicted. Alvarez struck the baseball at 116 mph, a line-drive laser that landed on a pavilion overlooking right field. Alvarez and Kyle Tucker have six of the team’s eight home runs. They’ve teamed to drive in 22 of Houston’s 40 runs, too — the only two men showing any consistency in this strikeout-filled lineup.Houston starter Luis Garcia grinded through four forgettable innings. That he lasted that long is a minor miracle. Garcia fooled no one and found himself a batter away from exiting during both the second and third innings.
