MINNEAPOLIS — Royce Lewis gave the Minnesota Twins a scare with an inadvertent somersault and a face-first landing. He said afterward he felt like he "ran into a car backward." But he had no concussion symptoms or significant injury, just a sore shoulder and a scrape on his forehead. The play happened in the eighth inning of Minnesota's 2-1 loss to Cleveland. Lewis tried to beat out a grounder and found first baseman Gabriel Arias in his way. He pulled up in attempt to avoid a collision at the base and went sailing over Arias instead.
