All hope is not lost. This weekend's series in Houston felt a lot like the series in Cleveland at the end of April, when the Twins were walked off twice in a three-game sweep. Shortly after that series, they ripped off 13 wins in a row. Things can always change quickly.

Sunday’s finale against the Astros ended in heartbreak for the Twins. After carrying a 1–0 lead into the bottom of the ninth, the team saw Houston tie the game and force extras. With the new extra-innings rule in place, the Twins started the 10th with a runner on second base. But what happened next raised eyebrows.

Swept in Houston, the Twins have lost five of their last six series and are 10-15 overall since the 13-game winning streak ended.

Victor Caratini had a sacrifice fly in the ninth and Mauricio Dubón hit a walk-off single with two out in the 10th to help the Astros beat the Minnesota Twins 2-1 and sweep the three-game series.

The Twins’ 2-1, 10-inning loss to the Astros at Daikin Park on Sunday reflected what has been a scuffling Minnesota offense. One exception: Brooks Lee, who homered as part of a 3-for-4 day that extended the Major Leagues’ longest active hitting streak to 15 games.
