On a night Evan Longoria hit three home runs for Tampa Bay, an unlikely source of power upstaged the Rays’ rookie slugger. Alexi Casilla went deep during Minnesota’s five-run ninth inning Thursday night, helping the Twins rally for an 11-8 victory that stopped a four-game losing streak and pulled them within 1 1/2 games of the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox.
