MINNEAPOLIS — Before the Twins and Astros took to Target Field as opponents Tuesday, they engaged in a bit of a family reunion.
Well, at least Carlos Correa did, fraternizing with his former teammates he calls brothers on the team that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2012 and with which he won a World Series ring. The shortstop had nothing but praise for his old organization, especially his heir at shortstop, rookie Jeremy Pena.
Correa watched the game from the dugout, out with a bruised finger, as Pena led the Astros to a 5-0 victory in front of an announced 16,156 fans, snapping a nine-game home winning streak for the Twins (18-12). Houston improved to 19-11.
