LOS ANGELES (AP) — Astros manager A.J. Hinch met privately with the team’s owner and general manager on Saturday Devin Mesoraco Jersey , a day ahead of reliever Roberto Osuna’s activation following a 75-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy.Hinch discussed the matter with owner Jim Crane and GM Jeff Luhnow, but declined to go into details. The manager said Osuna will join the club on Sunday and be activated for the series finale at Dodger Stadium.Osuna is expected to address the team and then talk to the media with Luhnow.Osuna was arrested in Toronto in May and charged with assaulting his girlfriend. No details have been made public and the matter is pending in court.MLB handed him the second-longest suspension since its domestic violence policy was enacted three years ago and Osuna did not appeal.The Astros acquired the right-hander from the Blue Jays at the trade deadline this week. The move raised eyebrows in the clubhouse and around baseball since Houston had previously stated its no-tolerance policy regarding domestic violence.The team released minor leaguer Danry Vasquez last spring after surveillance video surfaced showing him assaulting a woman.Astros starters Justin Verlander and Lance McCullers Jr. were outspoken about their disgust on Twitter at that time.“My views on the topic have been out there. I’ve spoken on them and those kind of hold firm,” McCullers said after leaving the team’s 14-0 win Saturday night with right elbow soreness. “It’s obviously a baseball operational decision.”Osuna was not at Dodger Stadium on Saturday. He pitched one scoreless inning for Double-A Corpus Christi on Friday, allowing one hit with one strikeout.Osuna could potentially make his Astros debut in a closing role on Sunday.“A lot has to happen tomorrow,” Hinch said, “and as a team, family and group we’ll navigate it together.”Dodgers fans already have been booing various Astros players since the series began Friday night. It’s a rematch of last year’s World Series, won by Houston in Game 7 at Dodger Stadium.“It’s got to be difficult. He’s not an old-timer. He’s still a young kid,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said in Seattle. “It’s a lot of pressure and a lot of focus on him. It can’t be easy. He probably can’t wait to get on the mound and get away from all that.”Hinch’s first order of business will be to talk with Osuna.“I certainly want to get to know him and his background. I’ve never met him http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-jason-vargas-jersey , never shook his hand,” Hinch said. “I know a little bit of his track record. We’ll get into anything that he wants to. I’m his manager now so I think it’s important to get to know him and learn what makes him be the player that he can be.”The 23-year-old right-hander is the youngest pitcher to ever record 100 saves and he can throw 95 mph.The Astros are known for being a close-knit team that banded together to help Houston after last year’s devastating floods triggered by Hurricane Harvey.“That’s not going to change,” Hinch said.The effect Osuna’s presence has on the team will be closely scrutinized.“We are going to handle it as a group as best we can,” Hinch said. “We simply don’t know and we aren’t going to draw any conclusions at this point. We’re going to welcome him on our team and begin the process of getting to know him.” MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — While Minnesota’s pitchers were struggling with the strike zone, the Twins‘ hitters were teeing off.Eddie Rosario hit a tiebreaking drive in the eighth inning for Minnesota’s third homer of the day, helping the Twins top the Detroit Tigers 5-4 on Sunday.Max Kepler and Jake Cave also connected as Minnesota won for the fifth time in six games. The Twins bashed 13 homers while taking three of four from the Tigers.“It’s one of those things, hitting’s contagious,” said Cave, who reached the second deck in center with his solo drive in the fourth.“Guys are hitting home runs http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-pedro-martinez-jersey , Kepler hits a home run in the same inning that I did. So when you got a guy who hits a home run in front of you, gives you a little cushion, then you get to a 3-2 count, it kind of helps you to be able to put your best swing on the ball.”Unlike Cave and Kepler, Rosario didn’t have a full count, but the result was the same. Behind 0-2 after two swings-and-misses leading off the eighth, Rosario launched the third fastball he saw from Alex Wilson (1-4) into the right field seats for his 22nd homer.“The ball flies here. You make mistakes up, that’s what these guys do. They’ve got some swingers,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said.Minnesota has 15 homers on its homestand. But the Twins walked 22 batters during the four-game series against the Tigers Giancarlo Stanton Jersey , and it nearly cost them Sunday.Minnesota led 4-1 after the homers by Kepler and Cave. The Twins appeared to be cruising before Jake Odorizzi walked consecutive batters in the sixth, loading the bases with no outs.“It was the same command issues that were kind of haunting me all day,” Odorizzi said. “I was behind a lot of counts, even in the middle innings when I was going good. I just need to execute a little bit better.”Matt Magill then came in and walked Niko Goodrum on four pitches, forcing in a run. After Victor Martinez bounced into a run-scoring double play, Jim Adduci hit a tying RBI single.Trevor Hildenberger (3-3) relieved Taylor Rogers in the eighth and got James McCann on a grounder with two on to end the inning. He worked a scoreless ninth despite pinch-hitter Victor Reyes‘ leadoff single and a walk to Jose Iglesias.WHEN THEY GO HIGH .Wilson’s last two pitches to Rosario were high. The first drew a bad swing and a miss from Rosario. The second? Not so much.“I don’t know if he was guessing neck-high fastball again, but he guessed right,” Twins manager Paul Molitor quipped.BULLPEN DAYTigers reliever Buck Farmer allowed two runs in 2 1/3 innings in his first start this season. He got the nod after the Tigers realized Jacob Turner didn’t meet a 10-day wait requirement after being designated for assignment this month. On Saturday night, the Tigers said Turner would be called up from Triple-A to start.Zac Reininger gave up the homers to Kepler and Cave before Daniel Stumpf threw two hitless innings.“Our pitchers did what we hoped. They gave us an opportunity http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-derek-jeter-jersey ,” Gardenhire said.TRAINER’S ROOMTigers: Iglesias returned to the lineup after a few days off to rest a bruised right thumb. Iglesias hurt the thumb on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox and started Wednesday before being shut down, although he made one appearance off the bench.Twins: Molitor said RHP Ervin Santana would see a hand specialist on Tuesday about the recurring finger discomfort that sidelined him for much of the season. Santana, who went on the 10-day DL on Sunday, had surgery on his right middle finger in February.UP NEXTTigers: Open a two-game interleague series against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. Jordan Zimmermann (5-5) takes the mound for Detroit for his 18th start of the season.Twins: Top prospect Stephen Gonsalves will make his major league debut on Monday against the Chicago White Sox. The left-hander, a fourth-round draft pick by the Twins in 2013, went 9-3 for Triple-A Rochester this year with a 2.96 ERA.
