Twins infielder Kody Clemens had a memorable debut at Fenway Park as Minnesota battled the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.
In his first game in the venue, Clemens hit a go-ahead two-run homer in front of his father, Red Sox legend Roger Clemens, and other family members.

Clemens hit the home run at the top of the sixth inning with the game tied 1-1 and opened the floodgates for the Twins to take a lead. The Clemens family celebrations in the suite were well-captured in the broadcast.
The 28-year-old started his MLB career with the Detroit Tigers in 2022 before joining the Philadelphia Phillies the following season. After three years in the City of Brotherly Love, the Twins acquired him in a trade on April 26.
While in Detroit, Clemens joined the Lions on a trip to Fenway but did not play. Before Saturday’s game, he raved about how exciting it was to play in his father’s old stomping grounds.

“I always wanted to play here,’ Clemens said. “I love the atmosphere and how the fans feel like they’re right on top of you. They’re engaged in the game. It’s exciting.”
“I was just born when my dad was here last,” Clemens added. “Don’t remember it when I was young. Just seeing the videos of him when he was here with Boston. Now, being here is full circle. It’s crazy.”
Roger played in Boston from 1984-1996 and won 192 games in his Red Sox career with a 3.06 ERA and 2,590 strikeouts. He also made history with a 20-strikeout game on the mound and helped spark a run to the World Series in 1986.
The Twins look to snap a four-game losing streak after dropping three in a row to the Guardians and their first game against the Red Sox on Friday.

5 big ‘what-ifs’ from the 2025 NFL Draft
The Jaguars' trade-up may have shaped a big chunk of Round 1: If the Browns had stayed put at No. 2, perhaps the Jaguars would have drafted Ashton Jeanty and the Panthers would have secured Mason Graham. The Saints' decision not to draft a quarterback in the first round had a ripple effect: Jaxson Dart easily could have been the team's choice, which would have negated the Giants' trade back into the first round for the Ole Miss signal-caller.

How did Warriors win Game 1 after Steph Curry injury? With depth and toughness
MINNEAPOLIS — A strange scene unfolded early in the second quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ gutty Game 1 road win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.Forty-eight hours after an elimination survival win in Houston, about 30 hours after landing in town straight from Texas, the fatigued Warriors — facing a significant four-day rest and prep disadvantage — went up 30-20 on the third of Draymond Green’s four first-half 3s.AdvertisementGreen roared at the Minnesota bench as Timberwolves coach Chris Finch called timeout. The Warriors’ bench rushed the floor to celebrate their loud arrival into this second-round series, showing the oomph and energy they promised despite the condensed schedule.

Fantasy Football: IDP sleepers to target in rookie drafts
Jack Kiser offers some potential beyond Year 1: While his path to snaps as a rookie isn’t great, that path may clear up significantly in Year 2, making him an ideal late-round target. Teddye Buchanan offers a sneakily interesting potential as soon as his rookie year: The Baltimore Ravens linebacker room needed reinforcements, and Buchanan could push for playing time if the leash remains short for Trenton Simpson.
