___
Schedule: Tuesday, at New York, 8:09 p.m. EDT (ESPN).
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Brian Dozier served notice last season when he hit 42 home runs. Miguel Sano showed his power this year at the All-Star Home Run Derby.
The rest of the Minnesota Twins are showing they can hit the ball over the fence as well.
Jason Castro homered twice, Dozier was a double from the cycle and Minnesota pounded the San Diego Padres 16-0 on Tuesday night.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins have put catcher Jason Castro on the seven-day disabled list with a concussion and recalled outfielder Zack Granite.
Castro took three foul balls off his face mask in Wednesday night's 4-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox. Manager Paul Molitor said he suffered dizziness as the game wore on.
He left after the fifth inning with concussion-like symptoms.
CHICAGO (AP) — After giving the Minnesota Twins a chance to come back in the opener, Jorge Polanco immediately drove them in the right direction during the nightcap.
Polanco hit his second three-run homer of the day as the Twins scored six times in the second inning and routed the Chicago White Sox 10-2 to split a doubleheader Monday night.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Eddie Rosario danced, Oliver Drake flinched, and the Minnesota Twins were on their way to another comeback victory.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Jaime Garcia assured Paul Molitor after the fifth inning he could go some more. Then told his new skipper the same thing after the sixth.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Ervin Santana and Minnesota made themselves at home in Cleveland. The Twins and Indians have been gracious hosts so far this year.
Santana struck out seven in six innings, Jason Castro drove in three runs and Minnesota swept Cleveland with a 4-0 victory on Sunday.
Santana (10-4) allowed nine hits, but Cleveland's lineup struggled again. The Indians were shut out twice, went 1 for 23 with runners in scoring position and stranded 30 baserunners in the weekend series.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Eddie Rosario wasn't a very happy camper after not starting four games in the past nine days.
He took his frustrations out on the Seattle Mariners pitching staff, and his teammates joined the hit party as well.
Rosario hit three home runs and drove in five runs and the Minnesota Twins set a franchise record with 28 hits while batting around in two different innings of a 20-7 victory over the Mariners on Tuesday night.
SEATTLE (AP) — Robinson Cano regularly makes the difficult look routine. So when Seattle's star and one of the best defensive second basemen in baseball makes two errors on one play, it's a shocking moment.
"I should've made that play, I've made that play before," Cano said. "It's part of the game."
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Miguel Sano claims he told Minnesota teammates earlier in the day they would turn a triple play Thursday night. The only thing he failed to predict was the Twins rallying in the ninth inning to beat the Los Angeles Angels.
The Twins turned their first triple play in 11 years in the fourth and then scored three in the ninth, taking the lead on Jason Castro's two-run single, to pull out a 4-2 win over the Angels.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — George Springer reached base in all six plate appearances and hit two of Houston's season-high six home runs to lead the Astros to their seventh straight victory, 17-6 over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.
Carlos Correa, Alex Bregman, Evan Gattis and Marwin Gonzalez also went deep for the Astros, who scored 40 runs in the three games to set a franchise record for runs in a series of any length. They had 19 hits on Wednesday and 37 in the series.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ervin Santana is cruising, Miguel Sano is crushing and the Minnesota Twins are quickly putting last year's misery behind them.
Santana struck out seven in six shutout innings and Brian Dozier hit two of Minnesota's six home runs to lead the Twins to a 9-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Josh Tomlin and Edwin Encarnacion broke out of a pair of season-long slumps for the Cleveland Indians.
In doing so, they helped put the Minnesota Twins into their first skid of the year.
Jose Ramirez homered and drove in two runs and Tomlin gave up three runs in six innings to lead the Indians to an 11-4 victory over the Twins on Tuesday night.
Francisco Lindor broke the game open with a two-run triple in the sixth and Encarnacion also went deep for the Indians.
