    HOUSTON — The day he turned 52 years old last December, LaTroy Hawkins hit submit on his final paper, the last thing standing between him and a college degree. And last month, Hawkins, who is currently with the Twins on their road trip serving as an analyst on the television broadcast, donned a cap and gown as he walked across the stage and received his diploma, fulfilling a dream his mother and grandmother had for him and, he hopes, serving as an example to his family’s younger generation.

    HOUSTON — Mickey Gasper has been among the best hitters in the minor leagues this year, hitting .344 with a 1.106 OPS as he torments Triple-A pitchers.

    HOUSTON — There was a decent chance that Joe Ryan and Hunter Brown, Saturday’s starters, would provide a pitcher’s duel. But Brandon Walter, making just his third-career start and Simeon Woods Richardson, recently recalled from Triple-A? Well, that was a little less predictable.

    HOUSTON — In the minutes after the Twins were walked off by the Houston Astros, Willi Castro was still trying to piece together what, exactly, had happened. Astros second baseman Mauricio Dubón hit a ball to Castro in left that he leapt for it looked like it hit his glove before rattling off the wall.

Rocco Baldelli said Royce Lewis has a "left hamstring strain of some kind." "He actually tested relatively well after the game upon examination in the training room. We’re going to bring him in tomorrow and check him out, see how he comes in."
