Twins Announce Royce Lewis News After Leaving Astros Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Minnesota Twins lost 10-3 to the Houston Astros on Friday night, dropping their record to 36-33. Now percentage points behind the second-place Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central, Minnesota also trails the first-place Detroit Tigers by nine games.

Lewis, who smashed a 425-foot homer in the sixth inning, singled in the ninth inning but exited the game after he pulled up while sprinting to first base. He didn't look devastated by any means, but the trainer and manager Rocco Baldelli quickly met him at first base and took him out of the game.

Despite missing the final 10 games of the 2023 season with a hamstring strain, Lewis returned and starred in the playoffs, hitting four home runs in 22 at-bats, including two off Kevin Gausman in Game 1 of an American League wild-card victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
