5-3 Win Takes Twins to 7-4
David Festa was locked in. The right-hander led the Minnesota Twins to a 5-3 win against the Houston Astros at Target Field. After losing, Houston is 8-5.

The Astros had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Twins going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the two-time All-Star Wilson Maldonado came to the plate. Maldonado hit a 3-run home run on a 1-0 slider from Houston hurler Dylan Cease. It was Maldonado's 3rd home run of the year.

"I give credit to my teammates for this win. We got it done," Maldonado told the Minnesota Chronicle.
