Willi Castro hit a two-run homer, Matt Wallner had two RBIs and the Minnesota Twins bounced back from a crushing loss in the series opener to beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-1 and stay locked into the final AL wild card. Castro connected in the eighth inning, and both of Wallner’s RBI singles came off Gavin Williams, who has just one win in his last seven starts. The Twins entered with a 1 1/2-game lead over Detroit for the last playoff berth. Lane Thomas homered for the AL Central-leading Guardians, who are closing in on the postseason. They can still clinch on Wednesday.
