Minnesota right fielder Avisail Garcia had a day to remember today, 5-for-6 against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park as the Twins picked up a 15-4 victory.

"He was patient up there today," Minnesota skipper Al Wehr told the press after the game. "I like the way he waited for his pitch and wasn't overly aggressive. Garcia has a tendency to chase bad balls sometimes."

Avisail Garcia singled in the 2nd, struck out in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

Garcia on the season is batting .289 with 22 home runs. His totals include 84 RBIs and 77 runs scored. He has played in 135 games.
