Kody Clemens Hands Down an 0-2 Miracle: First Ever Ultimate Grand Slam

Kody Clemens delivered the first-ever ultimate grand slam on an 0-2 count in the bottom of the ninth, turning a three-run deficit into a 4-3 Twins win over the Royals and adding a new, highly specific milestone to the lore of the “ultimate grand slam.” The moment came as Kansas City’s bullpen struggles loomed large, and Clemens— Roger Clemens’ son—called it the stuff of childhood dreams, tying the feat to a broader, increasingly debated definition of the most improbable grand slam in baseball history.

Gray’s pregame hunch fuels Clemens’ walk-off slam, Twins top Royals

Tristan Gray’s pregame prediction proved true when Kody Clemens lined a hanging slider for a walk-off grand slam off Matt Strahm, lifting the Minnesota Twins to a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals at Target Field. It gave the Twins their second walk-off victory in three days and pulled them back to the .500 mark, despite a late-game rally from Kansas City and a rough six-inning stretch against Noah Cameron. The win occurred as Minnesota dealt with Byron Buxton’s right-hip injury and Joe Ryan’s continued struggles, with Cole Sands later announced to be out for the season after elbow surgery.

Phillies edge out Tigers 3-2 in close game with Wheeler's no-hitter.

Zack Wheeler pitched a masterful game, going 7.1 innings without allowing a hit, and the Phillies' offense finally broke through in the 6th inning to take a 1-0 lead. However, the Tigers rallied in the 8th inning to take a 2-1 lead, thanks in part to an error by Kody Clemens. In the 9th inning, Nick Maton hit a go-ahead RBI single for the Tigers, but the Phillies tied it up and eventually won in extra innings thanks to a walk-off hit by Kody Clemens.

Phillies' First Baseman Darick Hall to Undergo Surgery for Thumb Injury

With Darick Hall out for around two months due to a thumb injury, Kody Clemens will be the Philadelphia Phillies' primary first baseman against right-handed pitching. Clemens was recalled to make his team debut and got the nod at first base against Reds righty Hunter Greene. Against southpaws, it seems likely the Phils will slide Alec Bohm over from third base while turning to Edmundo Sosa or Josh Harrison at the hot corner.

The team will need to rely on their depth and find ways to stay afloat until injured players return. The 2023 season will be a grind, but the Phillies are determined to make it back to the postseason.
