 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Luis Castillo's major league-record errorless streak for second basemen ended at 143 games. More important to him and the Minnesota Twins, their four-game skid also came to a halt. Nick Punto, Michael Cuddyer and Jason Bartlett homered and Kevin Slowey lasted long enough to get his first major league win as the Twins beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-5 Wednesday.
Castillo, who won three consecutive Gold Gloves with Florida, hadn't committed an error since May 29, 2006 — also at Angel Stadium — when he misplayed a line drive by Chone Figgins. But Figgins was involved again in the first-inning error that snapped Castillo's streak after 647 chances without one.
Vladimir Guerrero grounded to Bartlett at shortstop and his sidearm throw to Castillo for the attempted force on Figgins tipped off Castillo's glove.
