Twins Clip Astros in Tight Contest
The Minnesota Twins picked up a win at Target Field, knocking off the Houston Astros, 5-3. Starting pitcher Tanner Scott was an essential part of his team's success. Earning his 1st save of the year was Victor Arano. The Astros fall to 10-22 and continue their uneasy start to the 2019 season.

With no one out in the bottom of the eighth, Adam Jones had a game-changing hit. The Twins center fielder slammed a run-scoring single off Jose A. Ramirez, making the score 3-2, Minnesota.

"We'll pop the top on a cold one and get back to work tomorrow," Jones said.
