HOUSTON (AP) — Carlos Correa had three hits and three RBIs and Pablo López pitched seven shutout innings, helping the Minnesota Twins beat the Houston Astros 6-2 on Sunday night in Game 2 of their AL Division Series. He added a two-run single to center in the fifth, lifting the Twins to a 5-0 lead. López pitched a gem after leading the Twins to the victory in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series. The Astros had to hold off a Twins rally in the series opener, but they played from behind throughout Game 2. Correa's two-run single gave him 63 career RBIs in the playoffs, tying David Justice for third-most in MLB history.

The Twins advanced — for the first time in 21 years — to play the defending World Series champion Astros.

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.
