The Astros Keep Jacking

The Astros swept the Twins in Minnesota this afternoon, hitting six home runs in the process.

That’s now 13 home runs for Springer this season, and 82 total home runs for the Astros, the most in the league. They’ve won seven in a row, and put up 40 runs on the Twins in this three-game series. That’s a damn spectacle.
