The Houston Astros took a dominant 2-1 series lead against the Minnesota Twins in Game 3 of the ALDS. They used the long ball to secure the victory, with Yordan Alvarez hitting his fourth home run of the series. Pitcher Cristian Javier had an impressive performance, allowing only one hit. With this win, the Astros are now just one victory away from reaching their seventh consecutive ALCS.
