					| Astros Sneak By Twins, 5-4 |  
					| The Houston Astros had to overcome a big game from Minnesota left fielder Per Meulengracht to leave Target Field with a victory. And they did, winning 5-4. Meulengracht was 3 for 3 with 3 singles and 3 walks, while adding 2 RBI. The win belongs to Mike Chisolm in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Bill Rondeau took the loss for Minnesota. The loss has the Twins at 3-4. 
 Houston used the clutch hitting of Jeremy Trump to capture the win. The shortstop drilled a run-scoring  double in the top of the tenth inning to give the Astros the lead, 5-4. For the game, Trump had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.
 
 "I still think this team can play even better," Trump told the Houston News.
