Astros, Twins series in Minnesota brings tonight at 6:40 p.m.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (TXAN 24) — The Houston Astros are hitting the road for a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis, a stretch that kicks off a longer road trip.

The matchup opens at Target Field on Monday night (May 18), with games continuing through midweek. It’s a quick but important series for Houston as they try to steady things after an uneven stretch of play.

Minnesota has been strong at home early this season, so the Astros will be tested right away—especially with the Twins leaning on their rotation and contact-heavy lineup. Houston, meanwhile, continues to rely on big bats like Yordan Álvarez and veteran leadership to spark consistency.

This series also comes at a key moment in the AL standings, where both teams are trying to stay in the mix in their divisions.

If Houston can grab momentum early in Minneapolis, it sets them up nicely before they continue the road trip.
