Gomez, who had been out since injuring his rib cage diving for a ball on Friday in Oakland, doubled in his first two at-bats and finished 2-for-3 with a run scored in the Astros’ 6-4 win over the Twins at Minute Maid Park. He also got credit for an outfield assist when Miguel Sano popped off the base trying to stretch a single to a double in the sixth inning and was tagged out.
“Gomez coming off the injury played excellent, controlled baseball,” manager A.J. Hinch said. “He’s going to hate that I called it a controlled pace, but the swings were fluid.
