The Minnesota Twins trumped the Houston Astros, 7-5, at Minute Maid Park. Minnesota catcher José Molina was terrific. He was 1-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Minnesota reliever Willie Nieto was the winner. His record is now 3-1. The losing pitcher was Josh Holloway. The third-place Twins lifted their record to 47-54.

Minnesota used the clutch hitting of Miguel Diaz to capture the win. The first baseman drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Twins the lead, 6-5. For the game, Diaz had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"We played hard and won," said Molina. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
