Minnesota third baseman José Miranda played a vital role in his team's 8-5 triumph over Houston. He went 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for Minnesota. The first-place Twins, at 51-39, now lead their division by 5 games.

Miranda contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Minnesota in the bottom of the fifth. With his team trailing 5-4, Miranda took a sinker from Hunter Brown and stroked the home run to left-center. His 16th home run of the season allowed the Twins to leap in front, 7-5.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Miranda, "one at-bat at a time."
