Game Preview

In a fitting twist given their recent lack of production with runners in scoring position, the Houston Astros’ lone hit in that situation during a three-game set with the visiting Minnesota Twins failed to yield a run.

After finishing a combined 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position on Friday and Saturday, the Astros went 1-for-6 in the series finale, a 4-3 loss on Sunday in a rubber match.

Houston, which will open a three-game interleague series with the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Monday, received a two-out single from Alex Bregman with Jose Abreu on second in the seventh inning on Sunday, a ball hit to left field that prevented Abreu from scoring the go-ahead run.
