Astros Prevail, 3-1, Over Minnesota
Houston Astros starter Ian Anderson turned in an exceptional performance against the Minnesota Twins at Minute Maid Park, resulting in a Houston win, 3-1. The first-place Astros, at 75-64, lead the American League West Division by 7 games.

Houston took a 3-1 lead on J.J. Wetherholt's 5th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Wetherholt hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Minnesota pitcher Michael Carpenter visibly frustrated.

"Ian was able to execute his pitches," said Houston manager Fredi Gonzalez. "Simple as that."
