Alvarez's grand slam highlights 6-run inning as the Astros beat the Twins 6-4
HOUSTON (AP) --- Yordan Alvarez's grand slam highlighted a six-run fourth
inning and the Houston Astros beat the Minnesota Twins 6-4 on Tuesday night.
With Houston facing a three-run deficit after three innings, Cam Smith and
Taylor Trammell singled in the fourth. With runners at the corners, Yainer Diaz
hit an RBI single. Raynel Delgato walked, loading the bases. Jose Altuve
challenged his strikeout call with a full count. The call was overturned and
another run scored. Alvarez then hit his 26th home run of the season to
right-center field.
Astros starter Mike Burrows (4-8) pitched five innings. He gave up six hits and
four earned runs, striking out three and walking two. Josh Hader struck out two
in the ninth inning and picked up his eighth save.
Victor Caratini was hit by a pitch with bases loaded in the first inning,
giving the Twins an early 1-0 lead. Ryan Kreidler hit a two-run single and
advanced to second base off a fielding error by Alvarez, who overran the ball
in the outfield.
Minnesota's Josh Bell added an RBI double in the fifth inning.
Twins pitcher Joe Ryan (5-5) worked four innings, giving up six hits and six
earned runs. He struck out five and allowed three walks.
