Homers by Berkman, Bourn key Astros' rally past Twins

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Lance Berkman and Michael Bourn homered, leading Brian Moehler and the Houston Astros over the Minnesota Twins 6-5 on Saturday night.

Moehler (4-4) evened his record despite giving up three home runs, including a leadoff shot by Brendan Harris.

Joe Mauer hit his career-high 14th homer and Delmon Young also connected for Minnesota.

Twins starter Scott Baker took a 3-1 lead into the seventh. But Hunter Pence keyed a four-run rally with a one-out double and Ivan Rodriguez chased Baker with an RBI single.

Jason Michaels followed with a run-scoring double off reliever Sean Henn (0-3) and Bourn put the Astros ahead to stay with his second homer of the season.

Berkman’s solo shot off Luis Ayala in the eighth made it 6-3. Jason Kubel pulled Minnesota to 6-5 in the eighth with a two-run homer off reliever LaTroy Hawkins.
