Watch: The legend of Royce Lewis grows with first-inning home run

Minnesota Twins 24-year-old rookie third basemen Royce Lewis may be playing in the MLB postseason for the first time ever, but you wouldn't know that from the way he's been performing. 

Just a week removed from hitting two homers in his first two postseason at-bats, Lewis came up big again. With two outs and facing an 0-2 count in the bottom of the first inning in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Houston Astros, Lewis provided much-needed momentum.

The former 2017 first overall pick launched his fourth home run of the postseason, joining Yordan Alvarez for most HR's this postseason.

The Astros would counteract in the top of the second with a deep ball off the bat of Michael Brantley.
