					| Twins Lose to Astros, 4-2 |  
					| The Houston Astros faced a tough opponent in Minnesota pitcher Isaac Slack, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Target Field by a final score of 4-2. Slack went 8.2 innings and allowed 4 runs. Prince Gibson, the winning pitcher, improved to 1-3. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 8 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 1 and walking 2. Brian Thomas earned the save, his 9th. 
 Houston used the timely hitting of Danny Dyer to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 3-run  home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Astros ahead, 3-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.
 
 "We cashed in when we had the chance," said Houston manager Dave DaSilva.
 
 The Twins fall to 8-16 and continue their lackluster start in 2044.
