Twins' Willi Castro Hits Two Homers in 10-3 Win Over Athletics

Willi Castro has been on a hot streak for the Minnesota Twins, highlighted by his two solo home runs in a 10-3 victory over the Athletics. This multi-homer performance marks his second such game in recent days, contributing to four homers in his last five games and boosting his season stats to a .261 batting average with six home runs and 12 RBIs. Castro's power surge has been instrumental in the Twins' offensive surge, including a key go-ahead homer in a four-run sixth inning during the recent game. His recent success also features a 5:4 walk-to-strikeout ratio and a notable increase in OPS, demonstrating improved plate discipline and power. While not considered a must-roster player, Castro's streaky hitting makes him a valuable asset in deeper fantasy leagues. Meanwhile, Reds' Will Benson showed a contrast with a late solo homer in a game but has struggled overall since May 21, batting just .147 with a high strikeout rate.
