Clemens' 25th HR Seals Twins Win | Minnesota Twins News

Cody Clemens crushed his 25th home run of the season — a two-run blast in the seventh — to seal a 3-2 win over the Detroit Tigers and give the Twins their first lead they wouldn’t relinquish. The homer came after Luke Keaschall’s clutch challenge of two called third strikes, earning him a walk and setting up Clemens’ game-changing shot. After a shaky stretch offensively, this swing tied him with Byron Buxton for team lead in homers. Andrew Morris escaped a jam with runners on, and Yoendrys Gómez locked down the save for his 22nd without a hitch. This win is a vital spark for a Twins team clawing back in the wild-card race after a rough month. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
