After an oblique injury kept Lewis sidelined for much of Spring Training last season, he took almost no time at all to register his first hit, albeit against college competition.
Baseball's No. 9 overall prospect, Lewis is hoping to reach the show in 2020 and he's off to a hot start with this double.
