Lewis made his presence known from the start, knocking a leadoff double to right field before coming around to score in the first inning. MLB.com's No. 41 overall prospect walked in the second and slapped an RBI double to center in the fourth. Lewis also reached on a fielding error by shortstop Danny Mendick (White Sox) in the sixth and capped his game with a single to right in the eighth.
Following the end of his rookie season, the 2016 first-round pick tore his ACL, which postponed the start of his first full season to June 11. Two games into playing with Class A Advanced Modesto, Lewis crashed into a wall trying to make a catch and returned to the disabled list. Getting back on the field on June 24, the 22-year-old hit .257 with 14 extra-base hits and 31 RBIs in 49 games between a rehab stint in the Rookie-level Arizona League and the California League.

"I think for me, [it's] just getting reps," Lewis told MLB.com. "As I get reps, my game will polish out and everything will take care of itself. So that's my biggest thing -- just getting reps. And confidence and everything else will take care of itself.
"I'm just trying get my mind clear, get in a good position to hit and be ready to hit. I had some good results today, so hopefully I can continue to do that."
Lewis joined a stacked Javelinas roster. On Monday, top Braves prospectRonald Acuña Jr. collected an RBI double and a walk, second-ranked Red Sox prospectMichael Chavis and Atlanta's No. 16 prospect Alex Jackson both went yard, and Padres No. 10 prospectJosh Naylor plated four runs. Fifth-ranked Mariners prospect Braden Bishop added three hits, three runs and two RBIs.
"I think we kind of just feed off each other," Bishop told MLB.com. "It's awesome to have [Lewis] back out there and see him get after it makes me want to get after it. Overall, I'm just happy he's healthy and out here again."
Ninth-ranked prospect Max Fried (2-0) allowed a run on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in five frames.
Top Indians prospectFrancisco Mejía and No. 3 prospect Bobby Bradley belted a homer apiece for the Desert Dogs.
