Trump Helps Houston Cruise to 12-3 Win
The Houston Astros knocked off the Minnesota Twins, 12-3, at Target Field. Jeremy Trump was a big reason Houston won. The second baseman was 3 for 5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Houston starter Brian Lynch was credited with the win after throwing 106 pitches over 6 innings. His record now stands at 7-14. The win puts Houston at 53-89.

The Astros got a big hit from third baseman Eric Chotkowski. In the top of the eighth, Chotkowski pounded a 3-run home run to right-center. His 25th home run of the season put the Astros ahead, 10-3.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Chotkowski said after the game.
