The Houston Astros have one game left in their homestand to open the season when they play the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday afternoon. After trying to avoid the sweep, the Astros will travel to the Minnesota Twins for their first road trip that will also include a three-game set against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

However, Thursday's game against the Twins has been postponed due to inclement weather moving into the area according to the team. Instead, the game will be played Friday when the weather appears to be more favorable. 

The Twins feature former Astros star and fan favorite Carlos Correa. The shortstop went through a wild ordeal this winter after two teams, the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets, both passed on him after agreeing to a deal due to medical findings. 

He landed back with the Twins on a six-year, $200 million contract.

It should be an interesting series as the Twins are contenders this season and have a very talented team on paper.
