In their recent encounter against the Houston Astros on July 6th, 2024, the Twins demonstrated why they are considered one of the most formidable teams this season.

Their batting average stood out remarkably at .400 for the game, with an on-base percentage (OBP) of .436 and slugging percentage (SLG) of .600. This offensive onslaught was complemented by stellar pitching that limited Houston to just three runs.


Another notable performance came in a nail-biter against the Astros on July 5th where despite falling short by one run in a high-scoring affair that ended 13-12 in favor of Houston, the Twins' resilience was evident. They amassed an impressive total of 17 hits and showcased their power with seven extra-base hits. This game underscored Minnesota's ability to rally and compete fiercely until the last pitch.
