Min Twins – Once in a while, you’ll get that heartwarming moment where a player picks up a first career strikeout or clubs a homer while members of his family are being interviewed on the broadcast — and those lead to some of the most fun reactions for everyone to share.

Simeon Woods Richardson, unfortunately, got the opposite end of that as part of his first career start in his hometown on Sunday, when his mom, Wendy Blair-Woods, was in the act of being interviewed on television by reporter Julia Morales when Woods Richardson allowed a second-inning blast to Victor Caratini — with the interview cutting off shortly thereafter.

“I know! I heard someone actually say, ‘Yeah, he kind of fell apart after they put mom on camera,’” Blair-Woods said. “I’m like, ‘Ohhh! Did I jinx him?’”

She did not, considering she’s been there from childhood to pro ball — and the Twins ended up winning anyway. Thanks to two late RBI knocks by Jose Miranda, Minnesota claimed its fourth consecutive series victory by coming from behind in a 4-3 win over the Astros on Sunday at Minute Maid Park — and a triumphant homecoming for Woods Richardson.

Woods Richardson had no idea of any jinx or home run interview, anyway.

“I mean, I’m just trying to pitch a ballgame,” Woods Richardson said. “Handle the task at hand.”

With the return of Royce Lewis now imminent and expected to occur on Tuesday, Miranda continued to assert his case for why he’s earned a continued place on this team by crushing a game-tying blast to left-center off Hunter Brown in the sixth, then followed it with an RBI double off Ryan Pressly in the eighth to erase an early 3-2 Minnesota deficit.

Those three runs had been given up on a pair of homers by the Astros off Woods Richardson, who had been staying at home in Sugar Land — in the southwestern suburbs of Houston — on this trip and had grown up a big Astros fan, to the point where he had one of his childhood birthday parties in the outfield upper deck at Minute Maid Park.

So, he’d known the risks of pitching in Houston and leaving hittable pitches to Caratini while his mom was on camera, then to Alex Bregman for a two-run blast in the third.

“I’ve watched games all my life here,” Woods Richardson said. “So knowing that they have the Crawford Boxes, that’s easy for righties, and for lefties, you have a short porch as well, so I just want to try and learn how to pitch around them and maneuver in the different ballparks.”
