Kody Clemens Stays Hot With Two-Homer Performance on Thursday
Minnesota Twins utility man Kody Clemens remained hot at the dish in Thursday night's 8-6 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Royals at Target Field, going 2-for-4 with two solo home runs out of the three-hole in the batting order. The strong effort at the plate raised his season batting average to .236 and his OPS to .771. Both of the 30-year-old's homers came off Royals veteran starter Seth Lugo, and this was the second multi-homer game of his career. The son of former All-Star hurler Roger Clemens is now hitting .236/.311/.460 with a .771 OPS, eight home runs, 20 RBI, 23 runs scored, and five stolen bases across his 174 at-bats in his first full season with the Twins. In his last 11 games since May 24, Clemens has gone 11-for-44 (.250) with four home runs, a double, two triples, eight RBI, and seven runs scored. There isn't much of a fantasy ceiling to be had here, but Clemens has been swinging the bat well of late and is eligible at first, second, and the outfield in Yahoo leagues, where he is rostered in 4% of leagues.
