HOUSTON (AP) – Brian Dozier broke out of a slump with three hits and the Minnesota Twins snapped Dallas Keuchel’s 17-game home winning streak with a 6-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Monday night.

Keuchel (2-4) allowed five runs on five hits with three strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings and struggled with his command for the third time this season, walking five. The Cy Young winner hadn’t lost at home since Aug. 10, 2014, against Texas.

Dozier snapped a 0-for-16 slump with a double in the first and singled to start the three-run fourth as the Twins ended a four-game losing streak.

Jose Berrios (1-1) earned his first career win, giving up two runs on three hits with eight strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings in his second major league start. Berrios was tagged for five runs in four innings in his first start.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) – The Minnesota Vikings head into the last day of the NFL draft armed with six picks in the final four rounds.

The Vikings have a fourth-rounder, a fifth-rounder and two picks each in the sixth and seventh rounds on Saturday. Vikings GM Rick Spielman says the excess picks give him the ability to try to trade up if he sees a player available that the team covets.

The Vikings drafted Ole Miss receiver Laquon Treadwell in the first round on Thursday, then took Clemson cornerback Mackensie Alexander in the second round on Friday.

Spielman traded their third-round pick to the Dolphins for Miami’s sixth-rounder in this year’s draft and picks in the third and fourth rounds next year.
