Twins defeat Red Sox 4-3, end losing streak

The Minnesota Twins, who have struggled to win close games this season, managed to secure a much-needed series win over the Boston Red Sox, highlighted by late-inning heroics and improved clutch performance. A pivotal moment came when Kody Clemens, recently acquired by the Twins, hit a two-run home run at Fenway Park with his father, Red Sox legend Roger Clemens, in attendance—marking a memorable father-son moment and Clemens’ first game at the iconic stadium. The Twins’ victories against Boston represented a positive shift, as they had previously been among the league’s worst in games decided by two or fewer runs. Despite continued offensive challenges, these wins offer hope for Minnesota as they seek to avoid becoming sellers at the trade deadline. The series also underscored the emotional and historical significance for the Clemens family, with Roger Clemens expressing pride in his son’s clutch performance at his old home field. The Twins now prepare to face the Baltimore Orioles in their next series.
