MINNEAPOLIS — The Twins salvaged a series split with the Royals and a winning homestand with a 7-3 victory on Sunday. And all it cost them was their best pitcher, their best hitter and their top prospect.
OK, perhaps that's an exaggeration, but not by much. But the stream of Twins' injuries, already running at a record pace, somehow sped up in the weekend finale.
Royce Lewis, called up Sunday morning and told to play center field for the first time in his big-league career, crashed into the wall in the third inning while making a spectacular catch that apparently reinjured his surgically repaired right knee.
