The Astros split a four-game set against the Indians in their most recent series, losing the first two games of the series, then bouncing back to win the next two. Houston is 11-5 this season following a team win, compared to 5-6 when following a team loss.

The Twins have hit 49 home runs this season in 25 games, tied with the 1997 Indians for the fourth most all-time by any team through 25 games. Only three teams have hit more through 25 games in a season: 2019 Mariners (56), 2000 Cardinals (55) and 2019 Brewers (50).

Max Kepler has hit four home runs in his past three games. Kepler (7) and Eddie Rosario (11) have combined to hit 18 home runs this season, tied for the most of any American League teammate duo with the Athletics' Khris Davis (10) and Matt Chapman (8).

The Twins are one of four teams that Justin Verlander has 20+ career wins against (also KC, CWS and Cle). The only other active pitcher to have at least 20 wins against four different teams is CC Sabathia (KC, Det, Min and Bal).

In six career starts against the Astros, Jake Odorizzi is 4-1 with a 2.29 ERA. Odorizzi allowed two runs and scattered eight hits in 5.2 innings against the Astros on April 22 of this season, picking up Minnesota's lone win of the three-game series against Houston.

The Astros are 16-6 against the Twins since 2016, their second-best record against any AL team over that time (17-3 vs. Orioles). Houston won two of three games when these teams met earlier this month, batting .320 in the series with six home runs and six doubles.

HP - Miller, 1B - Segal, 2B - Eddings, 3B - Johnson

After going 15-5 with a 2.88 ERA last season, Houston Astros right-hander Gerrit Cole was considered one of the preseason favorites to win this year's American League Cy Young Award.
However, Cole owns a 1-4 record and a 4.71 ERA heading into his first career appearance against the surging Minnesota Twins on Tuesday in Minneapolis. Still, he believes it's just a matter of time before he turns things around.

Astros' Cole confident ahead of start at Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)  Gerrit Cole got a big play from his shortstop and settled in for a superb performance.
After Cole walked the first two batters of the game, Carlos Correa made a backhanded snag of Nelson Cruz's hard grounder to start a double play. Cole dominated from there, allowing one hit in seven innings, and the Houston Astros backed him with three homers in an 11-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.
