Royce Lewis had an epic reaction after returning to the Twins lineup, making fans love him even more. Minnesota Twins fans haven’t seen Lewis play since Opening Day, but that changes on Tuesday night.
Lewis injured his right quad three innings into his season debut, following a home run and a single in his first at-bats of the season. Fans will finally see his third at-bat as he hits fifth on Tuesday night in the Bronx.
Despite challenges this season, the Twins are off to their third-best start in two decades, all without Lewis. His return suggests the team can only improve, and they already show signs of being special.
Lewis’ comments before the game indicate his readiness to make an impact, signaling to the rest of the American League to brace themselves.
Before rejoining the field, Lewis spoke with reporters and made comments that fired up fans even more. His return couldn’t come at a better time, with Minnesota recently winning three straight series against the Nationals, Royals, and Astros. These victories followed back-to-back series sweeps, including one against the Yankees in mid-May.
That sweep set off a series of bad losses that threatened the momentum from a recent 12-game winning streak. Getting Lewis back for a potential revenge series could propel the Twins on a significant run heading into the All-Star Break, far exceeding earlier expectations.
While easier said than done, Lewis’ confident talk is backed by his previous performances, making fans optimistic about the Twins’ future.
