Top Performers Spotlight


Royce Lewis, playing primarily at third base for the Twins, has demonstrated why he's considered a top talent. Despite not hitting in his last three appearances, his defensive skills have been flawless, maintaining a perfect fielding percentage. His ability to hold down the fort at third base has been crucial for the Twins' defense.


On the Braves' side, outfielder Michael Harris has been nothing short of sensational. With an impressive batting average of .750 in one of the previous games and maintaining high on-base plus slugging (OPS) across three games, Harris has proven to be a formidable force at the plate. His performance not only showcases his hitting prowess but also his consistency and ability to deliver under pressure.
