Twins vs. Astros Game Highlights (6/15/25) | MLB Highlights

There he is lefty Brandon Walter finishing up this homestand. It'll be his third start on the season. The first two have been very good. One point six four is that overall E.R. Ray. His whip is under one and a lot of reason for that is because he has been very successful around the zone. Jeffers going with the blue baseball bats and that's a call third strike bottom of the zone. Jeffers doesn't like the call but Walter strikes out Jeffers to start the game. A couple of pitches to get there but eventually gets the strikeout hitting the bottom of our Andy Anderson strike zone with a little bit of a cutter. This one is in play tough play for Giorno a nice short hop pick and he makes the throw in time. Victor Caratini comes off the bag to tag Correa for the second out. Boy that's some sweet hands Giorno the veteran utility infielder playing third base. That was a very tough hop to his backhand to two line to left center field. That's a base hit for Castro Hummel cuts it off. And because of that that'll hold Willie to a single another good swing from the right side for Castro and the twins have a man on here and he scoreless first inning. A little Tapper Walters going to have to field his position barehands and makes a strike throws a strike to first base for the final out of the inning. One hit one left on Astros turn to bat in the bottom half of the first right hander Simeon Woods Richardson on the mound for the Minnesota Twins. This will mark his ninth start tenth appearance five seven fours at E.R.A. Benninger to Jackson is at 302 France over on the track with the play one out when a breaking ball hit towards third back to Brian got a big hop throws to first it's low. France picks that one out. That's another plus two for die. And it's a five three put out of Yiner Diaz and on three pitches two outs for Woods Richardson Houston Astros are in swing mode. They know the twins throw a lot of strikes. Check swing ground ball right side it's France Ophid was Richardson good start for Woods Richardson seven pitches and retires the Astros in order. Lefty Brandon Walter and Brooks Lee smile there before this first at bat today 14 game hitting streak for the switch hitting infielder to pitch a swing and a drive into left field and deep back it goes and gone on a two pitch Brooks Lee puts the twins on top of his seventh home run and it's one nothing. Stay hot Brooks Lee stay hot one or two on the twin shortstop. This would tap third base line on the charge comes Guillaume bare hands throws and it's not a tie infield hit for Carlos Correa Guillaume did that as well as he possibly could. Ground ball left side base hit left field Castro two for two and Correa advances 90 feet down to second. So Willie adding to those great numbers hitting right handed important for Brandon Walter to keep this game where it is as he faces tie France here. I want to hit to right backing up on a Cam Smith still going back near the wall jumps up and makes the catch and runs into the wall after he secures it. Nice move by Cam Smith getting back to the make the play for the final out. Castro's looking for a base runner twins lead one nothing Cooper Hummel ground ball right side diving stop made by France feeds once Richardson a beauty from tie France man as his defense improved this year. He grades out highly in every category including outs above average and to that Robin Hummel of a leadoff hit here in the third inning. And here's Dubon and Dubon hits one on the ground a short picked up by Correa he'll throw to first another and another quick out two pitches two outs to the left handed batting third baseman and was Richardson struck him out fastball at ninety four. So Simeon is perfect through three has struck out two so far today. Simeon was Richardson thirty one pitches strike one ten of the first twelve batters he has seen a pop up again. Bride will call for one away. Now it's Jake Meyers turn he struck out looking his first time. What's Richardson has struck out three ground ball to short Correa tries for the diving effort deflected off his glove right to Brooks Lee at second base. But that will be the Astros first baserunner in the Astros first hit Jake Meyers with an infield hit. Jake goes again and that's a check swing the throw down to second and Cam has drawn a walk. They did appeal after the throw went down to second and they said no swing for Eric Bacchus. So that'll be the first walk allowed by Woods Richardson to center field Harrison Bader playing him perfectly a two hand catch and was Richardson works out of it to on. They don't score twins by one after five twins with a one nothing lead over the Astros bottom of the six new pitcher for Minnesota. This is right hander Brock Stewart. Astros certainly aren't upset about Simeon Woods Richardson being out of this game. Only fifty three pitches for Wood Richardson. He struck him out ninety seven first appearance this weekend for Stewart and there is out number one to two from Beef Stew swung on a miss he tied him up inside. Back to back strikeouts to the right side. France will take it himself to the base and a one two three sixth inning for Brock Stewart. Talk about what Brandon's done in this ballgame so far. Eighty seven pitches six innings strong only one earned run. It was a home run to Brooks Lee but he has been brilliant. Otherwise those sticking with him here as he'll have a new career high in pitches and there's a three pitch strikeout eight strikeouts for Walter one quick out here in the seven. Stay right there. B Dub and Lee dumps this one to left center field. He's three for three hot kid and sticking with that light blue bat for a third plate appearance. Why not. Three knocks today tries to get a swing and that's too far. Eric Baca says he goes too far. Vasquez strikes out that's now nine and Walter is going to end with that totals. Here comes Joe Espada nine strikeouts straight outing from Brandon six and two thirds innings. Brandon Walter will leave with a three game at one nothing another fine outing for Walter. He'll get a nice hand from the crowd runner on first two outs Ryan Jeffers the batter Sean Dubin into the game for Brandon Walter at first base two down Ryan Jeffers his fourth plate appearance today Flair to right field shallow Smith coming on that O'Leary. So Jeffers up for the second time today and the twins have two on with two out pops this one up catcher Giner Diaz will put it away for the final out of the inning. Dubin will help Brandon Walter strand that runner at second base and really now batting left-handed pitch on the way swung on and drilled into the right field corner could be extra bases bouncing around down there as Smith tries to peel it out takes it off the hockey board strong throw to second won't be in time and it's a leadoff double for Willie Castro and a little comeback. Or Dubin's got the runner help on the and he'll run right at Willie Castro and O'Hagan. That's a nice job by Sean Dubin for the first out. You know Joe's got four lefties to choose from Bennett Sousa being one of those who will be the new pitcher when we come back. Ground ball to second beautifully done by Sousa gets the double play ground ball. Roll throw pitch by Cam Smith crosses over to third now to be the veteran Luis Guillerme and his first started in Astros uniform in a big spot here. Here we go two strikes and the pitch ground ball right side. Lee is there he'll flip it to first and the Astros leave the tying run at third. The twins remain in front by one last chance for the Astros down by one here in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins final game of this homestand. And you see Johan Duran on the mound for the Minnesota Twins. And that's a one oh one pitch that missed but it's a four pitch walk drawn by Payne. Pitches up the throw by Vasquez not in time almost got to the outfield. Nice play by Brooks Lee save that ball from going into center field. That's still number 15 for Payne and 16 drive. You got to love that he's stealing that bag early because we know how aggressive Jose Altuve can be. There goes Payne. Will Tapper pass the mound Correa charges his throw. There's over four in his career against Duran with a strikeout set in the left field deep enough to score Pena. We're going to be tied up as well in the second goes Altuve elevate to celebrate and professional hitter professional professional hitter Victor Caratini. All one right center field Bader in the angling back he'll grab it and we play on Astros scored one in the night yesterday to win it. They score one of the ninth today. Josh Hader making his twenty ninth appearance. He's been perfect in safe situations. This is not one of them with the Astros picking up a run in the bottom of the ninth inning. He is in here to keep this game right where it's at. That's a pop up on the infield Vasquez frustrated slams the bat away as Yander Diaz makes the catch for out number one Hader got him earlier this year on a slider and he gets him again on that same pitch. He pops this one up. Jeremy Payne you the shortstop the Astros are going to post a zero at the top of the 10th and try to walk it off for the second straight day. Bottom of the 10th Astros and twins tied at one Jake Meyers the automatic runner at second for the Astros Cole Sands the fifth pitcher used by Minnesota Dubon over his last 15 Mauricio drives one deep to left field back goes to the big swing and the hero is the new father Mauricio Dubon.
