Burnes finished with a career-high 15 punchouts. The right-hander became the third pitcher in MLB annals to record 10 straight whiffs, joining the New York Mets' Tom Seaver in 1970 and Aaron Nola, who accomplished the feat in June for Philadelphia. Polanco also tripled and Luis Arraez had a double for Minnesota, which won for the fifth time in its last seven games. Caleb Thielbar picked up the victory with 1 1/3 inning of hitless relief while Alex Colome picked up his seventh save.
Cincinnati's Joey Votto tied the game with a long two-run homer into the right-field seats with one out in the ninth inning against Atlanta closer Will Smith. The two-run shot was his second of the game, 25th of the season and 14th since the All-Star break. Carlos Correa added two hits and Framber Valdez struck out eight over six innings for the Astros. Houston swept the two-game set with Colorado and has won three of its last four after dropping five of six.
