The franchise is back during the Twins series

Back to back wins, and a series win... It's almost too much to bear all at once. The Astros started off the Twins series with a loss in a game that     Dallas Keuchel pitched (at home no less), and you begin to think, oh no this is going to get really bad. They did manage to show out and take it to the Twins in the next two games.

Now that the positive vibes are flowing, below are three takeaways from the Twins series.

The franchise is back

No one wanted to talk about it, but Carlos Correa had been struggling big time over the past week or so. He hasn't had a long hitless streak but he hasn't been the dynamic player that he was last year (aside from the start of the year).

During the Twins series, he came back to form. In 11 at bats he had 4 hits, 2 walks and 4 RBI's. He is looking good, and when Correa is rollin so are the Astros.

The great white

A mainstay early in the season, he had only one start during this three-gamer. White ended up with 6 at bats during the series and went hitless. In the past seven games, he has one hit which is good enough for a .063 batting average.

Pitchers have adjusted to White after his crazy hot start, but he has yet to figure them out or get a new game plan.

If he doesn't start producing the next time the Astros need to send someone down to the minors. It just might be White.

Bullpen baby!

A starter can only go four innings? Who cares, the Astros have the bullpen to not only last the rest of the game but keep you in it. During the three-game series, the bullpen pitched 12 1/3 innings and only allowed one run. Let's be honest that's pretty damn good!

Michael Feliz ended up getting sent down after the last game but he gave them 4 hitless innings. Will Harris looks like the same rock star he was last year and even Ken Giles managed to pitch twice during the series and allowed no hits.

Scott Feldman has also seemed to excel in a relief role. The Astros pen aside from Giles and Josh Fields don't have guys that will blow it past you but they got a lot of quality "out getters."
