Jeremy Penna recorded a four-hit game, and Jose Altuve scored three runs in support of Ruki Left-Hander Colton Gordon, who Houston Astros on Friday claimed a 10–3 victory over Meenosota Twins as the second strong start.
Gordon (2–1) limited his second career victory and first quality of twin children to six innings from two solo home runs. He allowed six hits, released a walk and posted five strikes.
In his previous beginning on 6 June, Gordon held Cleveland’s parents to score a run in five innings. It marked its first beginning with less than three earned runs after its leading league debut on 14 May. Against twin children, he was equally effective and sometimes resourceful.
After facing the minimum through two innings, Gordon participated from a base-loaded jam by transporting Carlos Korea to the ground to eliminate the top of the third. Willy Castro scored a single home run with two outs in the fourth, a line drive in the left area for his seventh homer in the season. With two outsiders in the sixth, Royce Lewis drilled his second home run center, a powerful 425-foot explosion.
When Lewis hit his shock, Astro was ahead comfortably. Houston scored three times in the bottom of the first, jumping with Imdiyasi to the twin children’s right-handed Chris Padack (2-6).
Penna, who finished 4-for-5, sang and scored with Yanner Diaz when Ruki Cam Smith gave two runs, two-out single to center field. Fellow Ruki Jacob Malton chased the right with RBI single, scoring the Christian walker and set an inauspicious tone for Padac.
Ultuve doubled two runs in the second, in which Brendon Roders and Pena took the lead and increased the lead 5–0. Smith and Melton again hit in the third when Smith chased a leadoff double with a single with Jake Mayor and when Melton added two-nine triple.
Malton, who later moved with a right ankle injury, scored on the Mauricio Dubon Sacrifice fly, which took an 8–0 lead. Altuve took its 10th Homer to fourth place for 9–0 profit. Smith and Melton finished a combined 4 -for -6 with five RBI.
Padac allowed nine runs (eight earned) on a career-high-tie 12 hit in four innings.
