Lewis is probably best known for breaking up a Jim Maloney no-hitter in the 11th inning with a game-winning homer for the Mets. In that Crosley Field game, Maloney threw a complete game of 11 innings and allowed no hits over the first ten innings. Lewis' homer in the 11th gave Maloney the loss, 1-0. Lewis had the nickname "The Gunner" when with The Mets for his ability to throw out runners heading to home plate and the bases.
In later years, Lewis was a coach for the St. Louis Cardinals (1973–1976, 1984–1989) and managed their Rookie League affiliate, the Calgary Cardinals, in 1977 and 1978.
