When the Twins broke camp, Willi Castro was the 26th man on the roster, included only because a pair of expected starters, Jorge Polanco and Alex Kirilloff, were beginning the season on the injured list.Castro has spent the entire season proving his value, and Tuesday provided yet another good example. Castro’s two-run home run off former Twin Zack Littell was the difference in the Twins’ 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Target Field.Littell, who was a reliever for the Twins from 2018-20, started on Tuesday for the Rays (89-57) and spent most of his night keeping the Twins (76-69) quiet.

Since returning from the injured list at the beginning of the month, Castro i...
