Royce Lewis crushed his ninth home run of the season and 26th home run of his career during Thursday's game between the Minnesota Twins and Tampa Bay Rays.
Lewis missed the entirety of April and May, after all, making his nine home runs so far this season all the more impressive.
From there, the Rays scored in the top of the 10th to steal another win at Target Field, further burying Lewis' early highlight in a 7-6 defeat. Lewis actually got caught trying to tag from second to third on the first play of the bottom of the 10th to all but kill the Twins' comeback chances, although Jose Siri's perfect throw was certainly the headliner on that play.
