Astros Dominate Twins in Key Game

Astros Crush Twins in Dominant 10-2 Victory Behind Alvarez’s Grand Slam

Minneapolis, MN – October 5, 2024 – The Houston Astros delivered a statement win against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night, overpowering them 10-2 at Target Field behind a monstrous grand slam from Yordan Alvarez and a stellar pitching performance from Framber Valdez.

Alvarez, the Astros’ slugging designated hitter, broke the game open in the fifth inning with a towering 438-foot blast to right-center field off Twins starter Pablo López, clearing the bases and giving Houston a commanding 7-1 lead. The Twins’ bullpen couldn’t stop the bleeding, as Kyle Tucker added a two-run homer in the seventh, and Jose Altuve contributed three hits and two runs.

Valdez (6-3, 3.12 ERA) was sharp, tossing seven innings with eight strikeouts while allowing just two runs—a solo homer from Byron Buxton and an RBI single from Carlos Correa, the former Astros star who received mixed cheers and boos in his return to Target Field after an injury absence.

'We came in with a plan, and the guys executed perfectly,' Astros manager Joe Espada said. 'Yordan’s swing was the turning point, and Framber was locked in.'

The Twins, now fighting to stay in the AL Wild Card race, struggled defensively, committing two errors, including a costly misplay by Royce Lewis that extended Houston’s big inning. 'We didn’t play our best game, plain and simple,' Twins manager Rocco Baldelli admitted. 'We’ll regroup and come back stronger tomorrow.'

Game 2 of the series is set for Saturday, with Houston’s Justin Verlander facing Minnesota’s Joe Ryan in a pivotal matchup.

Final Score: Astros 10, Twins 2
Key Performers:

Yordan Alvarez (HOU): 2-5, HR, 4 RBI

Framber Valdez (HOU): 7 IP, 8 K, 2 ER

Byron Buxton (MIN): 2-4, HR
