Royce Lewis is back in St. Paul. He was sent down from the Minnesota Twins to the St. Paul Saints on May 18. In his maiden voyage as a big leaguer, he hit safely in 9 of 11 games, with an impressive .308 batting average.

“I couldn’t be happier,” said Lewis after Tuesday’s 11 inning loss to Indianapolis at CHS Field. “I wasn’t really supposed to get that opportunity. And at the end of the day, everyone just wants an opportunity to show what they got. And so it was so much fun for me to go up there and kind of prove myself a little bit and just enjoy that time.”

Since being sent down, Lewis has played third base and left field, along with his normal shortstop position, in an effort to become more versatile for a future call-up.
