CLEVELAND (AP) — Royce Lewis had a grand slam and a career-high six RBIs, and Jorge Polanco and Carlos Correa added solo homers off Lucas Giolito in his Cleveland debut as the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins beat the Guardians 20-6.
Lewis became the first rookie in MLB history with three grand slams in an eight-game span and the second player ever with five homers and three slams in the same timeframe, joining baseball legend Lou Gehrig in 1931.
The Twins moved six games ahead of the second-place Guardians with 24 to play. Giolito, claimed off waivers from the Angels on Aug. 31, gave up a career high-tying nine runs in three innings.
