Minnesota Twins swept by Astros, lose in 10 innings after Jhoan Duran gives up ninth-inning run again

Trying to protect a 1-0 lead, Duran walked the first batter he faced, Astros leadoff hitter Jeremy Peña, on four pitches. Duran struck out Yainer Diaz, but on Duran’s first pitch to Jose Altuve, Peña stole second. Peña then moved to third when Altuve — reaching way out of the strike zone to make contact — dribbled an infield hit to shortstop, easily beating Carlos Correa’s desperate throw. First baseman Victor Caratini followed with a fly ball to the warning track in left field, scoring Peña with the tying run.
