Recap
MINNEAPOLIS -- Josh Bell homered twice and drove in four runs as the Minnesota Twins beat the Houston Astros 6-3 on Monday night. The game was delayed 1 hours, 57 minutes due to rain and lightning in the bottom of the fifth inning with the Twins leading 3-0. Bell homered in the second inning to open the scoring, then took Astros starter Tatsuya Imai (1-2) deep to left for a two-run shot in the fourth. It was the 12th multi-homer game of Bell’s 11-year career.
