Willi Castro broke out of an 0-for-16 hitless streak. Brooks Lee snapped an 0-for-19 skid. And Royce Lewis collected his first hits since last Wednesday, putting an end to an 0-for-22 slump.

It was a full team effort for the Twins in their 6-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night at Target Field, led in part by that trio and boosted by an extended bullpen effort.

“We got some really nice swings. You could feel the offense kind of brewing there,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “… They were really locked in and doing their part in a nice way. And we found a way to piece together the rest of the game.”

And after it, the Twins announced even more good news: Byron Buxton will be activated ahead of Friday night’s contest. Buxton’s return will be a boost for an offense that has awoken in the past two games.Wednesday, Lewis got in on the action, and for a moment it looked like Mr. Grand Slam himself had done it yet again.

The Twins third baseman lasered a Hunter Strickland pitch to left-center field that was initially ruled a home run, one that would have been the sixth grand slam of his young career. Upon review, the call was overturned. The ball had hit off the top of the wall and Lewis had to settle for a two-run double. But Lewis and the Twins (78-68) will sure take that.

Lewis, who at one point earlier this season declared he didn’t “do that slump thing,” entered the night hitless since last Wednesday.

He tried to break that up with a bunt in the first inning but was unsuccessful, and the hitless streak extended until the sixth inning, when he singled. Lewis’ double helped provide insurance in the series-finale win.

“I hit the ball hard and that’s all I can really do,” Lewis said. “… That’s all you can control, man, is hitting the ball hard, doing your job, and that’s all I was happy about.”

In the fourth, Lee broke out of his slump with a double bringing home a pair of runs and putting the Twins on top for good. That came after Castro had tied the game up with a single to center.

Baldelli pulled starter Zebby Matthews early, the short hook a sign of the urgency the Twins now have in their postseason push.

Matthews, to that point, had given up a pair of solo home runs, and the Twins were trailing the Angels (60-86) 2-1 in the fourth inning. After Matthews issued a one-out walk, Baldelli summoned Cole Sands. Reliever after reliever followed — Caleb Thielbar, Jorge Alcala, Griffin Jax and Jhoan Duran — as the Twins emptied their bullpen to secure a win.

“There’s urgency,” Baldelli said. “We’ve got to find ways to win any way possible. Today it meant going to the bullpen and going to them early.”

Jax pitched two scoreless innings on a special night for him and his family. Much of Jax’s family was in attendance, and his twin brothers participated in the pregame ceremony — both Air Force captains, one piloted a fighter jet as part of the flyover and the other threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Griffin.

Jax threw a clean seventh inning when the Twins were up by just a run, keeping the Angels in check before Lewis’ late offense helped give them a more comfortable lead.

“That was a really cool day for Griff with everything going on pregame,” Baldelli said. “… That was a big-time effort. And the rest of the guys kind of picked it up where they needed to and got the job done.”
