Astros Announce Jacob Melton News After Leaving Twins Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's not easy for rookies to thrive in the big leagues, and Houston Astros outfielder Jacob Melton is learning that the hard way. The 24-year-old entered Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins, slashing .185/.241/.185 with three RBI over 10 contests.

The Minnesota Twins lost 10-3 to the Houston Astros on Friday night, dropping their record to 36-33. Now percentage points behind the second-place Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central, Minnesota also trails the first-place Detroit Tigers by nine games.

Lewis, who smashed a 425-foot homer in the sixth inning, singled in the ninth inning but exited the game after he pulled up while sprinting to first base. He didn't look devastated by any means, but the trainer and manager Rocco Baldelli quickly met him at first base and took him out of the game.

Would Aaron Civale, who recently (unwillingly) moved to the Milwaukee Brewers’ bullpen, be a good fit in the Minnesota Twins’ rotation?
