The Spokane Indians don’t figure to win many baseball games with home-run power, but they do figure to give teams trouble in extra innings.

Facing Eric Brown, who boasts the Northwest League’s second-best earned-run average, Castro ignored his last three poor starts and gave the Spokane Indians their first win of the second half of the season.

The Tri-City Dust Devils appear to be stronger since center fielder Kyle Von Tungeln rejoined the club. Whether Spokane Indians manager Tim Hulett feels that’s true couldn’t be determined immediately, because he wasn’t around for most of Monday night’s game.
