Kody Clemens has proven solid at first; Borrego emphasizes customizing drills to strengthen infield readiness and consistency.

Clemens hit three homers, drove in five, scored three, and posted 14 total bases, the first Twins player with a three-homer game since 2021. A defining night that included a walk-off homer and a leading role in a dramatic comeback.

Clemens blasted a 451-foot two-run homer, his 16th of the season, breaking out of a 3-for-21 slump. The blast provided needed punch and depth to Minnesota’s offense, signaling he’s more than a bench bat and can deliver multi-run power when hot.

Clemens features in the Twins’ versatile mix; he’s part of a roster that’s embracing speed and opportunistic baserunning, contributing to the overall tempo shift and providing depth in both offense and baserunning scenarios.

Clemens is cited as a baserunning catalyst for the Twins, with the implication that his instincts and willingness to push could translate into meaningful steals and aggressive baserunning opportunities.
