HOUSTON -- George Springer homered for the second game in a row, hitting a two-run shot over the railroad tracks high above Minute Maid Park's left field to cap a three-run fourth inning and send the Astros to a 6-4 win over the Twins on Tuesday night.
Springer's sixth homer of the season gave the Astros a 6-2 lead, and four relievers held on after starter Collin McHugh allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings. Jason Castro also homered for the Astros, and Carlos Gomez doubled twice after missing the previous three games.
