Willi Castro - Hits first homer ThursdayCastro went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.
ImpactCastro scored the Twins' first run of the contest, doubling with two outs in the fifth inning before coming around to score on a Max Kepler hit. The 25-year-old utility man would then add a two-run homer, his first longball of the season, in the seventh off Tanner Houck.
