The performance of Joe Gardner proved critical in helping Houston beat Minnesota, 6-4. The Astros left fielder hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Houston reliever Jason Decker picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Rafael Gonzales took the loss. Kyle McPeak got the save, his 5th in 7 chances.

Houston relied on the hitting of Josh Froyd to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Astros on top, 5-4. For the game, Froyd had 1 home run and 3 singles in 4 at-bats.

"It was a solid team effort," said Gardner after the game.

The Twins, now 34-54, have lost 4 in a row.
