Twins Come Back Late to Top Astros
The Twins had to overcome a fine effort from Houston pitcher James Paxton to grab a narrow 4-2 win at Minute Maid Park. Paxton went 6 innings and allowed 1 earned run. Houston, at 5-17, is off to a poor start in 2019.

The game hit a turning point in the top of the ninth inning, when the Twins were trailing 2-1. Miguel Rojas delivered a two-out 3-run home run for Minnesota, catapulting his team into the lead.

"A great game, a great day," said Rojas about the win. "I can't complain."
