Astros Double Up Minnesota, 4-2
Houston got a strong outing from Gerrit Cole as the Astros defeated the Minnesota Twins, 4-2, at Minute Maid Park. The winner was Cole. He threw 7.1 innings of 2-hit ball. The loser was Ted Trent. Larry Andersen earned save number 33 this season.

In the top of the ninth, Goose Goslin stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Twins were trailing 4-2, but had runners on 1st and 3rd. That's when Larry Andersen made a terrific pitch and Goslin grounded out. Gone was the dream of a Minnesota comeback.

The loss makes Minnesota 69-58.
