Houston Titans starter J.P. France turned in a top-notch performance against the Minnesota Millers at New League Park. The result was a win for the Titans, 3-1. The winner was Orion Kerkering in relief. His record improves to 13-5. Jhoan Duran took the loss. The Union League Central Division-leading Titans have a record of 83-60.

Houston got a knockout punch from Eloy Jimenez. The designated hitter hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Feels good to get the job done," Jimenez said after the game.
