Miranda became the first player in the Expansion Era to record hits in 12 straight at-bats.
Miranda set a franchise record for the second day in a row by reaching base in 13 straight plate appearances and matched a major league record, setting the longest streak in the Expansion Era by producing hits in 12 consecutive at-bats. And he was just inches away from being the first ever to 13.
He set the Twins record by reaching for the 12th straight time with an RBI single in the second inning. That was part of a three-run frame that gave the Twins an early 5-0 lead. Miranda’s RBI single was sandwiched between RBI singles from Willi Castro and Carlos Santana in the frame. Jon Singleton hit a 406-foot, two-run homer off Twins starter Joe Ryan that cut the Astros’ deficit to 7-3, but that was as close as Houston would get as Byron Buxton provided some insurance runs for the Twins with a 367-foot, two-run homer in the seventh inning.
