Steve Calabrese, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2038 draft, took Minnesota hurler Bobby Barrientos deep in the bottom of the third. His solo home run put the Astros on top, 2-1. In all, Calabrese had 2 singles in addition to the home run, while going 3 for 5.

Afterward, Minnesota manager Rich Wynn said: "Every team has a bad week."
