Twins Get Close Win Over Astros, 5-4
Minnesota right fielder Joel Kunkler played a vital role in his team's 5-4 triumph over Houston. He was 2-4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Minnesota. The Twins raised their record to 43-65.

José Molina was the walk-off hero for Minnesota. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Twins catcher hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I was a little disappointed," said Houston manager Dave DaSilva. "We could've and should've scored more runs."
