So much had to go right for the Twins to piece together their dramatic four-run comeback against Brewers closer Devin Williams in the ninth inning of Tuesday’s game.

Carlos Correa hit his first career regular-season walk-off homer and, as seems to be the case more and more often this season, Willi Castro was in the middle of it all, paving the way for a team record along the way.

The Twins had already trimmed their deficit to 5-4, and when Edouard Julien worked a tough walk, they elected to pinch-run the speedy Castro with the clear notion of moving him up into scoring position.

It took until April 30 for Castro to get his first stolen base of the year, but his legs have been a key difference-maker in many tight spots this season, bringing the dynamic baserunning initiative that so many recent Twins teams have lacked in such situations.

Castro wanted to take off on the first pitch, but he got a bit of a late jump and decided to wait for the next pitch to go -- and he did, and, as usual, he was safe. Since the last time Castro was caught on May 3, he has been safe on 12 consecutive steal attempts. That one put him in scoring position for Donovan Solano, who did his job and lined the game-tying single to center.

“The baserunning part of it, he's really, I think, taken it to another level,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “We've given him some leeway and some freedom to be aggressive out there. He's won some games for us, just with his legs and his desire out there on the bases. He's turned himself into a key piece of our team and what we're doing here.”

Including Castro’s clutch swipe in that ninth inning, the Twins have now successfully stolen 25 consecutive bases, which is a club record. The previous record had been 21, set from Sept. 25, 2006-April 21, 2007. Their 85.4% success rate on steals is second best in the American League.

And it’s quite stunning that in all of Twins history, it’s a Baldelli-managed team that has set that record, considering they’ve ranked 30th, 30th, 25th and 30th in MLB in steals in Baldelli’s four full seasons at the helm.

That terror on the basepaths has been created almost entirely by Castro (13-for-15 on steals), Michael A. Taylor (11-for-11) and Byron Buxton (6-for-6) -- and that new element to the offense paid off again when Castro was in position to take off on Solano’s single and blow through the stop sign of third-base coach Tommy Watkins for the tying run.

“I didn't recognize it,” Castro said. “I recognized it when I was running past him, that he was stopping me. But I saw the ball off the bat. And I think I had a chance, and I just kept going.”

“He’s faster than I thought when we got him,” Baldelli said. “I knew he was a good athlete, but watching him run the bases is fun.”
