Near-cycle built for two: Altuve, Correa 3B shy

HOUSTON -- Jose Altuve, Jason Castro and Carlos Correa each homered, with Altuve and Correa adding a single and a double, to lead the Astros to consecutive wins for the first time this season in a 16-4 rout of the Twins on Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park.

Altuve led off the game with a homer to spark a three-run first inning, and it was 6-0 when Brian Dozier of the Twins hit a three-run homer in the third off Houston starter Mike Fiers to cut the lead in half.
