Pitcher Bailey Ober was rock solid in helping the Minnesota Twins beat the Houston Astros, 2-0. Jhoan Duran closed the game out for Minnesota, earning his 23rd save. Minnesota is first in the American League Central Division with a record of 50-39.

Minnesota center fielder Joshua Mears contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball into center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 25th hit of the season and put the Twins ahead, 1-0.

"The old adage is true," said Ober. "Good pitching stops good hitting."
