Rocco Baldelli salary has been added from $87.2 million to…

The Minnesota Twins got back on the winning track on Wednesday at Target Field vs the Colorado Rockies, and they did it in rather offensive fashion, putting up 17 runs on 24 hits, blasting the Rockies out of Minneapolis on getaway day.

Carlos Correa had the first five-hit day of his career. Carlos Santana collected four RBI, Eight Twins players recorded multiple hits and TEN Twins players recorded an RBI. Royce Lewis fell into both of those categories, going 3 for 5 with 2 RBI and… another homer.

It was the team’s best offensive day of the season and it couldn’t have come at a perfect time, because this is a group of hitters that has been looking for its groove all season. You know what else they have been missing most of the season?

Royce Lewis is the man and his Minnesota Twins teammates know it

More like *who* they’ve been missing. The aforementioned Royce Lewis. The Minnesota Twins offense goes to a completely different level when he is in it. Carlos Correa is the leader of this clubhouse and he is the one making all the money, but Royce Lewis is the best player on this baseball team.

Royce is to the Twins what early-to-mid-20s Carlos Correa was to the Houston Astros backe when they were banging trash cans and winning championships. He creates the vibe of the lineup. Carlos Correa said it best today when he talked about his five hits (all singles), noting that Lewis hits behind him. And when you get on base for Royce, good things happen.
