An instant fit with Twins, Clemens continues hot streak with walk-off double
MINNEAPOLIS -- It took quite a string of events for KODY CLEMENS to wind up on the Twins’ roster. But now that he’s here, it’s awfully hard to see him going anywhere, anytime soon.
The veteran utility man has produced remarkably since joining Minnesota as an emergency acquisition in a trade on April 26. He’s also been an instant fit in the Twins clubhouse. If you didn’t know he’d only been with the club for less than four weeks, you’d never guess it.
That gives him nine extra-base hits in 44 at-bats with the Twins, and a lot of them have been big hits, too.
Clemens continued his torrid run with two big hits in the Twins’ WIN Wednesday at Target Field, the resumption of a game suspended Monday night. He didn’t start the game, but was instead inserted as a pinch-hitter when it resumed, and Cleveland brought in a right-handed reliever. He tripled in his first at-bat, then added a walk-off double. For good measure, he doubled in the regularly scheduled game that afternoon.
