Twins Drop Astros, 2-1
|
The Minnesota Twins locked up a win at Minute Maid Park, knocking off the Houston Astros, 2-1. On the mound for Minnesota was right-hander Firpo Marberry. He played a major role in the triumph. The winning pitcher was Marberry, now 5-12. He tossed 6.2 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 0 and fanning 5. The Twins, at 50-68, inhabit last place in the American League Central Division.
Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Kirby Puckett? The 28-year old left fielder Puckett stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put Minnesota up, 2-0. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.
"One measly run," said Houston manager . "That won't win you too many games."
