HOUSTON — Carlos Correa was back at Minute Maid Park, starring in the MLB playoffs like he had so many times before.

Only this time he was wearing a different uniform.

Correa had three hits and three RBIs, and Pablo López pitched seven scoreless innings, helping the American League’s third-seeded Minnesota Twins beat the second-seeded Houston Astros 6-2 on Sunday night in Game 2 of their AL Division Series.

Kyle Farmer hit a two-run homer for the Twins, who bounced back nicely after losing 6-4 in the opener Saturday night in Houston.

The Twins host the next two matchups of the best-of-five series — Game 3 is Tuesday and Game 4 is Wednesday — which would return to the Lone Star State only if Game 5 is needed on Friday.
