The Minnesota Twins have been on a roll in the 2020 MLB season, and Royce Lewis has been a big part of that success. On October 4th, the Twins ended an 18-game postseason losing streak thanks in large part to Lewis’ two home runs.
Lewis, the Twins’ first overall pick in the 2017 MLB draft, has been a key contributor to the team’s success this season. He has been a consistent presence in the lineup, batting .236 with 10 home runs and 32 RBIs in 62 games. His two home runs against the Houston Astros in the Wild Card round of the playoffs were a major factor in the Twins’ victory.
The Twins had not won a postseason game since October 10th, 2004, when they defeated the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series. The 18-game losing streak was the longest in MLB history, and it was finally broken with Lewis’ two home runs.
The Twins are now in the American League Championship Series, and Lewis is a big reason why. His two home runs helped the Twins break their long postseason losing streak and gave them the confidence they needed to make a deep run in the playoffs.
Lewis is just 21 years old, and he is already making an impact on the Twins’ success. With his impressive performance in the playoffs, he has proven that he is a valuable asset to the team and will be a key part of their future success.
