Twins, Astros Play 12 to Settle Game 1, Minnesota Now Leads Series 1-0
When the games really matter, the Minnesota Twins put on their best show, beating the Houston Astros by a final score of 6-5. Kyle Tucker was 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times. Minnesota now leads Houston 1-0 in the best-of-7 affair.

Minnesota needed the clutch hitting of Josh Gibson to seal the deal. The designated hitter swatted a solo home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Twins on top, 6-5. For the game, Gibson had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"We're happy," Gibson told reporters after the win. "When you're in the playoffs, you've got to treat every game like it could be your last."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
