Royce Lewis hit his second grand slam in as many games, giving the Minnesota Twins a second-inning jolt on their way to a 10-6 victory Monday over the Cleveland Guardians that stretched their AL Central lead to a season-high seven games.

Matt Wallner had a solo shot in the third and Jorge Polanco hit a three-run homer into the upper deck in the fourth to perpetuate the power surge for the Twins , whose 70 home runs since the All-Star break are the second-most in the major leagues.

The Twins, who have been in first place for 141 of 151 days this season, have only nine games left against teams with winning records. That doesn't include the Guardians, of course, who are on the schedule five more times including a three-game series in Cleveland next week. The first overall pick in the 2017 amateur draft came out of the dugout for a curtain call, donning the team's celebratory fishing vest, after his upper-cut swing crushed a 76 mph curveball into the bullpen after center fielder Myles Straw crashed into the wall trying to snag it.With Cal Quantrill due back soon, the Guardians designated Noah Syndergaard for assignment Sunday after just his sixth start.
