MINNEAPOLIS -- Jose Altuve is keeping it simple.Im just hitting the ball and theres nobody there, the major league hitting leader said.Altuve had his second straight four-hit game and team-record eighth of the season to help the Houston Astros rout the Minnesota Twins 15-7 on Thursday in the first game of a split doubleheader. The doubleheader was caused by a rainout Wednesday night in a game Minnesota led 5-0 in the third inning.Altuve drove in three runs and scored three times. He has eight hits in his last nine at-bats, raising his average to .366. Hes hitting .438 on the road.Astros starter Doug Fister (11-7) is glad he doesnt have to face his teammate.Hes like a video game. He just continues to amaze, said Fister, who allowed eight hits and five earned runs in seven-plus innings. For me, Im just going to try and let him get himself out.Carlos Correa homered, Houston finished with a season-high 19 hits and won for just the fifth time in 16 games. Marwin Gonzalez tied a career high with four hits.To be able to hit like with everybody putting great at-bats together, its fun, Correa said.Kennys Vargas homered from each side of the plate for Minnesota.Twins shortstop Eduardo Escobar relieved Taylor Rogers in a three-run ninth inning and, after giving up a single, recorded three straight outs.Jose Berrios (2-3) was ineffective for the third straight start, lasting just two innings and giving up six runs and eight hits. Since his Aug. 1 recall from Triple-A, he has allowed 12 earned runs in 13 innings.In seven starts this season, the righty has a 9.32 ERA over 28 innings, permitting 39 hits and 14 walks.About as poorly as you could draw it up, really, when youre looking for an outing that gives you an opportunity to protect the rest of your staff the best you can, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. Its not always going to happen, especially when youve got a young kid out there. Hes trying hard. Probably trying a little too hard.Altuve hit an RBI double off the wall in right-center in the first inning and dashed for third base on the throw home. Catcher Juan Centenos throw to third sailed down the left-field line, allowing Altuve to trot home.Four straight hits with two outs in the second made it 6-0. George Springer hit a two-run double, Alex Bregman had an RBI double and Altuve singled home a run.We were able to hit with two outs; we were able to hit with two strikes. We did a really good job of a team effort, said manager A.J. Hinch.Correa hit his 17th homer, a three-run drive off Buddy Boshers as part of a six-run fifth inning.Vargas snapped an 0-for-12 skid with a second-inning home run. He became the fourth player in team history to homer as both a left- and right-handed hitter in the same game with a two-run shot in the eighth off Tony Sipp.Its good because I can show everybody that Im a good hitter on both sides of the plate and that Im really consistent on both sides of the plate, Vargas said through a translator.DOUBLING UPThis was Houstons 255th doubleheader, but first against an American League team.

Light heavyweight contender Vyacheslav Slava Shabranskyy made his name as a fighter to watch in the division largely on the basis of a decision win against formidable Yunieski Gonzalez in December 2015.Now Shabranskyy (17-0, 14 KOs), 29, a Ukraine native living in Los Angeles, hopes to further enhance his growing reputation, and perhaps put himself in line for a world title shot, with a win against the best opponent of his career in Sullivan Barrera, whom he will fight in a 10-round match on Friday (HBO Latino, 10 p.m. ET/PT) at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California.It feels great [to be in the main event], Shabranskyy said. Its a huge accomplishment for my career. It shows me that I am close to the level that I want to be at, and that I am closer to the fights I want. It is a step in the direction of where I desire my career to go.Sullivan is one of the toughest opponents I have faced yet, Shabranskyy said. Hes faced fighters like Andre Ward and has gone the distance and has demonstrated his skill. Knowing that he needs [to win] this fight will make him even more hungry in the ring, and we are expecting him to come forward. With this fight, I [might] get the opportunity to face opponents like Andre Ward. But first things first -- I have to finish Barrera.We never say we are going for the knock out. Thats not my style. We train to go the distance, especially knowing he has been under the care of a new trainer, so we dont know what kind of Barrera we are going to get.Shabranskyy attributes much of his improvement from the amateur game to professional boxing to trainer Manny Robles, who has had a breakout 2016 thanks to the world title victories of featherweight Oscar Valdez and junior featherweight Jessie Magdaleno, not to mention the continued development of rising middleweight prospect Jason Quigley, who will appear on Fridays non-televised undercard.Since coming here, meeting Manny Robles, and becoming a professional, its completely different [than training in Ukraine]. Its completely changed me, said Shabranskyy, who began boxing at age 13. When I first came here, my mentality was to just come and fight and get inside the ring. Manny had to tell me to take it easy, to refocus, and take it one fight at a time. Los Angeles isnt a pit stop. Its become my second home.Shabranskyy also picked up valuable experience when he served as a sparring partner for Bernard Hopkins before his 2014 loss to Sergey Kovalev in their light heavyweight unification fight.I learned so much sparring with Bernard. He is a very smart fighter inside the ring, Shabranskyy said. After every sparring session, we would sit down, and he would explain to me everything that he knew.dddddddddddd I was so excited to be in training camp with him. Bernards fight against Sergey Kovalev was not an easy fight, and Bernard gave him a tough 12 rounds. Bernard was able to adapt and strategized every round to last the 12 rounds.Now Shabranskyy faces Barrera, who was a standout amateur on the Cuban national team before coming to the United States. He has a tricky style and vast experience.Ive never fought anyone with his type of style. Although Ive seen many of his videos fighting, you never know who you are going to get in the ring, Shabranskyy said. We know that he has switched up his training camp, hes moved to Miami, which means we could see him fight a little different.We will tell what kind of Barrera shows up in the ring that day. It doesnt worry me that much, though. All I know is that I am training hard and will be prepared for it. Ill be able to tell you after the first round how its going.The 34-year-old Barrera (17-1, 12 KOs), a Miami-based Cuban defector, is coming off of a lopsided decision loss to Ward in March, and he is hoping to get back in the title hunt quickly.He will go into the fight with a new trainer, having split from Abel Sanchez, the 2015 Boxing Writers Association of America Trainer of the Year, in favor of Derik Santos. The reason for the switch, according to Barrera, is because he was more comfortable training in Miami than traveling to train at Sanchezs compound in Big Bear Lake, California.I had known about Derik for a long time, since I came to this country, Barrera said. My team and I thought this was the best decision to work closer to home. Camp is going great -- we had a long camp. It worked out perfect because I got time to really learn a lot of things from Derik.I must take advantage of my opportunity and do what I do best. It would be great to get a knockout because I know I am going into his home turf and his promoters home turf [and it is] going to be very tough to get a decision. My goal is to knock him out.The bout headlines a Golden Boy-promoted tripleheader that also includes two other 10-rounders:Junior welterweight Antonio Relentless Orozco (25-0, 16 KOs), 29, of San Diego, the No. 1 contender for unified world champion Terence Crawford, will risk his status against Fidel Maldonado Jr. (22-3-1, 19 KOs), 25, of Albuquerque, New Mexico.Welterweight Eddie Gomez (19-1, 11 KOs), 24, of Bronx, New York, will face Rashidi Ellis (16-0, 11 KOs), 23, of Lynn, Massachusetts, in the opener.
