Video: Willi Castro Does It All, Royce Lewis Exits, Chris Paddack Hits 98 mph

The Minnesota Twins shutout the Reds 7-0 Tuesday night behind an insane game from William Castro. He made a pair of great catches in the field to save runs and hit a homer. Kenta Maeda was sharp, striking out eight over five innings. Unfortunately, the big talking point resulting from this game is Royce Lewis’ health. He had to exit the game in the eighth inning after taking an awkward swing. Down in the minors, the Twins actually have a number of players returning to health. Nick Gordon, Joey Gallo, Chris Paddack, Brock Stewart and Jorge Alcala are all rehabbing with the Saints. Paddack looked incredible at hit 98.2 mph. Andrew Morris delivered a great start for Cedar Rapids but their quest for the Midwest League title will have to continue tomorrow. Their game was suspended in the bottom of the fifth inning due to rain. They’ll pick back up tomorrow and play Game 3, if necessary.
