Houston catcher Willie MacIver helped his team beat the Minnesota Twins, 4-0. MacIver went 2 for 2 for the Astros. Hunter Brown, who is tied for 9th in the AL with a 9.7 K/9 rate, was the winning pitcher. Over 7 innings, he allowed no runs on 6 hits, with 1 walk and 1 strikeout. Houston now sits at 35-26, while Minnesota falls to 31-29.

Houston took a 3-0 lead on MacIver's 3rd home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which he hit off Drey Jameson in the bottom of the seventh, propelled Houston to the win.

"Nice win for us," said MacIver. "Now we'll go after the next one."
