MINNEAPOLIS -- The Houston Astros found their offense against the Minnesota Twins.Evan Gattis homered and had four RBI, Carlos Correa went deep for the third straight game and Houston beat Minnesota 10-2 on Thursday night to sweep a doubleheader.Houston had 16 hits in the nightcap, three fewer than it had in a 15-7 win during the day. The 35 combined hits and 25 runs rank second in franchise doubleheader history.The doubleheader was necessitated by a rainout Wednesday, a game Minnesota led 5-0 in the third before storms arrived.We had one continual day of offense that didnt stop, manager A.J. Hinch said. It was a fun day; a long day, pretty exhausting, but to walk out of here with two wins after being down by a lot of runs in the rain is a pretty good feeling.Jose Altuve had four hits in the first game and was 1 for 4 in the nightcap. He leads the majors with a .365 batting average and has reached base in 41 straight road games.Chris Devenski (1-4), who had 21 straight relief appearances after making four early season starts, allowed two hits and struck out five during five strong innings for his first major league victory.Its exciting, he said.

He will get an MRI on Friday.Correa launched a 445-foot drive to the second deck in right-center to make it 5-0 in the third.Its been crazy, feast or famine right now for us, Gattis said.Andrew Albers, called up to be the Twins 26th player, made his first appearance since May 1, 2015 with Toronto and pitched the final six innings. He gave up five runs, including two runs in each of his first two innings.Albers threw 108 pitches, tying the team record for most by a reliever in one outing -- Oscar Munoz did the same on Aug. 21, 1995.What he did, you cant underscore enough, manager Paul Molitor said. He came out and got banged around the first couple innings and ended up throwing 108 pitches.Minnesota has an AL-worst 4.97 ERA and used four relievers in the first game before shortstop Eduardo Escobar got the final three outs.Thats because Jose Berrios (2-3) was ineffective for the third straight start, lasting just two innings and giving up six runs and eight hits.
