Castro faces former team for first time

HOUSTON -- After catching all 15 innings in the Twins' 8-6 loss to the Rays on Sunday -- in a game that lasted 6 hours and 26 minutes -- Minnesota catcher Jason Castro went to dinner with former Astros teammates Dallas Keuchel, Collin McHugh and Lance McCullers Jr. on the eve of facing his former team for the first time.

Castro, a Astros' first-round pick in the 2008 MLB Draft who's caught the fourth-most games in Astros history, signed with the Twins in the offseason for three years and $24.
