Twins End Rays Six-Game Streak with Clemens Power

Kody Clemens has become a key player for the Minnesota Twins since being acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies, earning praise from teammates and excelling at the plate with a .304 average, five home runs, and clutch hits that have helped the Twins achieve an 18-9 record since his debut. Carlos Correa named Clemens the team's most valuable player, highlighting his power hitting and impact on the lineup. Clemens' performance was notably showcased in a recent 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, where he homered and helped end the Rays' six-game winning streak, with his father Roger Clemens watching from the stands. Despite sporadic playing time, Clemens' offensive contributions have made him a fantasy asset and a vital part of the Twins' roster. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays, led by Brandon Lowe, Junior Caminero, and pitcher Drew Rasmussen, suffered a 5-0 shutout loss to the Twins, marking a rare defeat for starter Pablo López. The Twins' combination of strong hitting and pitching, bolstered by Clemens' emergence, has kept them competitive in the American League Central.
