Jeremy Pena recorded a four-hit game, and Jose Altuve drove in three runs in support of rookie left-hander Colton Gordon, who produced a second consecutive strong start as the Houston Astros claimed a 10-3 victory over the visiting Minnesota Twins on Friday.

For much of the season, the Twins have been propped up by the strength of their rotation, which was one of the best in the majors. Pablo López might have been on his way to his second All-Star Game, and Joe Ryan his first.
