HOUSTON — Unfortunate for the both of them, Alex Kirilloff can relate to what his good friend, Royce Lewis, went through more than most. Kirilloff, like Lewis, underwent two surgeries — his on his wrist, Lewis on his knee — that altered the early years of his career.Some of their rehab was conducted side by side, and what impressed Kirilloff the most was watching Lewis attack every day with the same mindset and attitude, bringing relentless positivity despite receiving a second torn anterior cruciate ligament diagnosis that forced him out of action for a year.“I know at least a little bit of what he has gone through, and I know the work that went behind it to get back to this point,” Kirilloff said. “I’m proud of him. I’m happy for him to be able to be back and doing the things that he’s accustomed to doing and … feeling good and healthy. I’m just really happy for him.”That’s a sentiment echoed around the Twins’ clubhouse.Exactly one year after crashing into the outfield wall and re...First bus of Asylum Seekers arrive in Albany
