Astros Beat Twins, Injuries and Correa's Return Mark Game

The Houston Astros extended their winning streak to three games with a 10-3 win over the Minnesota Twins, highlighted by strong performances from rookies Cam Smith and Jacob Melton, as well as four hits from Jeremy Pena and three RBIs by Jose Altuve. Rookie pitcher Colton Gordon secured his second career win, limiting the Twins to two solo home runs over six innings. The Astros quickly built an 8-0 lead by the third inning, taking advantage of struggling Twins pitching, which has allowed 44 runs in their last four games. Isaac Paredes left Thursday's game with a hamstring strain, and Jacob Melton exited Friday's game with right ankle soreness, leading to the call-up of infielder Luis Guillorme from Triple-A. Royce Lewis left Friday's game for the Twins due to injury, while former Astros star Carlos Correa received a warm welcome upon his return to Houston. The Astros remain five games ahead in the AL West and are positioned to clinch the series with another win.
