Royce Lewis hit two home runs — his first career multihomer game — and Joe Ryan struck out 11 in seven innings as the Minnesota Twins beat the Colorado Rockies 7-1 to prevent a three-game sweep.

Offensively, Kody Clemens got the scoring started for the Twins once again with an RBI triple in the third, giving the Twins’ utility man triples in back-to-back games. They would add two more in the inning thanks to a Matt Wallner frozen rope homer, which will hopefully get him moving in the right direction for a lineup lacking some thump.
