The Minnesota Twins start a nine-game road trip today against the Houston Astros. They just completed a six-game road trip in which they went 4-2.
They start the road trip 1.5 games back of the Texas Rangers for the second Wild Card spot in the American League. Last weekend they took two out of three against the Houston Astros at Target Field. Today they start a three-game series at Minute Maid Park.
Who would have thought that the Twins and Astros would both be playing meaningful baseball in September when the season started?
