Lewis hit a two-run homer and a two-run double in the victory.
Royce Lewis hit a two-run homer and a two-run double and the Twins plated six runs in the eighth inning in a dominant 10-2 victory over the struggling Chicago White Sox Friday night in front of an announced crowd of 30,801 at Target Field in downtown Minneapolis.
Lewis' third-inning double gave the Twins a 4-2 lead that held until the eighth inning when Christian Vazquez hit a two-run double and Willi Castro hit a two-run homer the next at-bat. After Trevor Larnach was walked, Byron Buxton hit another two-run shot that gave the Twins a 10-2 advantage. The loss was the White Sox’s 18th straight, one of the longest losing streaks in Major League Baseball history. The all-time longest losing streak was 23 straight losses by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1961. OnlyVargas’ third-inning homer knotted the game at 2-2 after Lewis put the Twins ahead with a 409-foot, two-run blast right away in the first inning. Lewis wasted no time putting the Twins back ahead, either, hitting a two-run double in the bottom of the third for a 4-2 lead.
