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