Astros Win at Minnesota, 6-3
A good performance from right fielder Eric Katz helped the Houston Astros defeat the Minnesota Twins, 6-3. Katz went 3 for 4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 for the Astros. Bill Dillard closed the door for Houston, picking up his 1st save of the year. The loss drops Minnesota to 3-3.

Houston used the clutch hitting of Jack Christie to capture the win. The designated hitter drilled a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Astros the lead, 6-3. For the game, Christie had 1 single and 2 doubles in 5 at-bats.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Katz. "And not try to do too much."
