MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Harold Castro's first career hit started an eighth-inning rally that led the Detroit Tigers to a 4-2 victory over Minnesota on Tuesday in a game in which Joe Mauer set the Twins' record for reaching base.
Mauer singled in the first inning, reaching base for the 3,073 time in his career and surpassing Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew.
Castro was at home in Venezuela because the minor league season was over when Detroit selected his contract from Triple-A Toledo last week. He made his first career start in his second game, and singled to start a four-run rally in the eighth inning for the Tigers.
