Astros Trip Twins, 8-7, in Extra Innings
The performance of José Abreu proved critical in helping Houston beat Minnesota, 8-7. The Astros first baseman was 3 for 6 with 2 home runs and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 4. Their 66-46 record puts the Astros second in the American Division.

The result might have been different, had it not been for Jose Altuve, the Houston second baseman. Altuve had a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Astros ahead, 8-7. For the game, Altuve had 1 double and 2 singles in 7 at-bats.

"I like our moxie," said Astros manager Dave D. Double Dip #1.
