“He was born for this, I think,” teammate Jorge Polanco said. “He’s very special to see in those moments. He doesn’t shy away from those moments.”The 24-year-old Lewis became the third player in major league history to go deep in his first two postseason plate appearances, following Evan Longoria for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2008 and Gary Gaetti for the Twins in 1987, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
When Lewis went deep to right to lead off the third inning, he became the second Twins player in history with a multihomer postseason game. Gaetti in Game 1 of the 1987 ALCS was the first. “It brought that electricity into my body. I felt different,” Lewis said. “My heart was beating. It was the most nervous game, exciting game, I’ve ever played in my life. It was so much fun.”
