Twins Sweep Lowly Astros

It wasn't pretty, but any win is a good win. The bullpen got in four more innings of scoreless ball and recently recalled Oswaldo Arcia hit the game-deciding homerun in the seventh.

I found myself watching most of the game again. I guess watching a team that's winning games is much easier than watching a team that's always losing. Pelfrey struggled through 5, but he only gave up two runs in those struggles so I would have to put that start on the plus side for him as well.

Justin Morneau seems to be hitting the ball much better now that the trade deadline has passed. He hit his third homerun in the last eight games yesterday. MAYBE the old Justin is starting to come back.

It's hard to get excited, though, about a team that managed only FIVE hits against the worst team that baseball has to offer.

The Twins play at KC tonight and the Royals have been on a pretty good tear as of late. They just swept the Twins last week at Target Field. Correia is starting for the Twins.
