With dad on hand, Kody Clemens homers in 1st game at Fenway Park to lead Twins past Red Sox 4-3
BOSTON (AP) - Kody Clemens hit a two-run homer in his first game at Fenway Park - with his famous father in attendance - and the Minnesota Twins beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 on Saturday.
With former Red Sox ace Roger Clemens watching from a luxury box along the first-base line, his son drove an 0-1 slider from Hunter Dobbins (2-1) over the short wall in the right-field corner to push Minnesota ahead 3-1 in the sixth inning.
Jarren Duran had an RBI triple and a double for Boston, which has lost three of four. Romy Gonzalez, expected to get the bulk of the playing time at first base after Triston Casas ruptured a tendon in his left knee, had three singles.
Clemens' homer came during a three-run sixth that gave the Twins a 4-1 edge.
