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.

After losing two out of three in Houston last week, the Minnesota Twins have a chance to win the return series on Thursday afternoon at Target Field in Minneapolis.
The Twins, behind eight shutout innings from Martin Perez and a tape-measure home run by Jonathan Schoop, won their second game of the four-game series on Wednesday night, 6-2, bouncing back from an ugly 11-0 loss on Tuesday.

Berrios, Twins seek series win over Astros

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)  After a lopsided sweep of the rebuilding Baltimore Orioles to start their homestand, the Minnesota Twins faced a much better test of their strong start to the season with a four-game series against the Houston Astros.
Buoyed by a well-balanced lineup and some solid starting pitching, the Twins won three times while surging to the best record in the American League.
