Royce Lewis

Royce Lewis was robbed of a potential game-tying homer by Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio in the eighth inning as the Twins' win streak was halted at 13 games.

Lewis took Freddy Peralta deep in the fourth, hitting the ball 417 feet at a season-high 109.5 mph off the bat. He hit another shot to center in the eighth, but Chourio reached over the wall to grab it. Lewis came into the day just 7-for-35 with one extra-base hit since coming off the IL on May 5.

Chourio did make a contribution today in robbing Royce Lewis of a homer, but it was a fourth straight hitless game at the plate. The Brewers dropped him to sixth in the lineup on Friday, only to move him right back up to second the last two days. Considering that his plate discipline is pretty much non-existent at this point and his OBP is sitting at .260, sixth seems like a more appropriate spot for him.

Lewis singled in a run in the seventh to extend the Twins' lead to 4-0. It's just the second multi-hit game for Lewis since returning from the injured list, but both have come in the last four games. Expect to see the former first-overall pick drastically improve his .148/207/.148 slash in the coming weeks/days.

Lewis gets the second game of the doubleheader off as the Twins continue to have Lewis in maintenance mode since returning from the injured list. The 25-year-old will begin the contest on the bench with Jonah Bride getting the start at third.
