Nelson Velázquez went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI, and two runs scored in a win over the Twins on Wednesday night. Velázquez took Bailey Ober deep twice with one soaring an estimated 437 feet. He’s often been a streaky player and perhaps this is the start of his next hot streak.
Castro collects three hits, including a double
Willi Castro went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in a loss to the Royals on Wednesday night. The Twins struggled to sustain offense against Seth Lugo and the Royals’ bullpen as Castro was the only member of the lineup with multiple hits. He hadn’t recorded a base knock in four games and has a .258 batting average with four home runs and seven stolen bases on the season.
