October 12 - MINNEAPOLIS -- Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker had one thing on his mind when he arrived at Target Field on Wednesday. Baker got his wish, as the Astros held on for a 3-2 win over the Twins to clinch the American League Division Series in four games. The Astros advance to the AL Championship Series for the seventh season in a row. Michael Brantley also homered for the Astros, who won both games on the road against the Twins. Astros right-hander Jose Urquidy (1-0) held the Twins to two runs on three hits in 5 2/3 innings.

The Twins advanced — for the first time in 21 years — to play the defending World Series champion Astros. It's familiar territory for Correa, who played for Houston for seven seasons before signing with Minnesota in free agency. The Blue Jays hit the ball hard again and made Gray work for his first career win in the playoffs, but the veteran right-hander finished five effective innings. Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, one of four Blue Jays who made 31 or more starts this season, was greeted by a single by Max Kepler. The Twins also lost a division series to the A’s in 2006 and a wild-card series to the Astros in 2020.
