30 Jul
Summary
- Kody Clemens hit a walk-off grand slam in the ninth inning.
- The Twins came back from a three-run deficit to win 4-3.
- This win returned the Twins to .500 at 55-55.
The Minnesota Twins achieved a remarkable 4-3 victory against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday, securing the series win in dramatic fashion. For eight innings, the Twins were held hitless by Royals lefty Noah Cameron, who pitched brilliantly.
However, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Twins trailing by three runs, Kody Clemens connected with an 0-2 pitch, launching a walk-off grand slam. This blast not only clinched the game but also returned the Twins to a .500 winning record of 55-55.
The team now prepares for a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners. Despite recent offensive struggles, including scoring fewer than four runs in six of their last seven games and missing key player Byron Buxton due to injury, the Twins' front office indicated they will be active buyers at the trade deadline, primarily seeking bullpen reinforcements.
