You'd think the Guardians would know better than to pitch to the Twins' Royce Lewis with the bases loaded. Lewis' grand slam Monday was the fourth of his career — and third in the past eight games, including back-to-back contests — and third against Cleveland pitching. Here are his career grand slams:
May 13, 2022: Fifth inning off Bryan Shaw in Twins' 12-8 victory over the Guardians
Aug. 27, 2023: Sixth inning off Chris Stratton in Twins 7-6, 13-inning victory over the Rangers
Aug. 28, 2023: Second inning off Xzavion Curry in Twins' 10-6 victory over the Guardians
Sept. 4, 2023: Second inning off Lucas Giolito in Twins' 20-6 victory over the Guardians
The speculation surrounding shortstop Carlos Correa’s availability in a trade was overblown this week, Twins officials indicated at the winter meetings in Dallas.
