Kody Clemens hit a two-run homer in his first game at Fenway Park — with his famous father in attendance — and the visiting 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 the Twins ahead 3-1 in the sixth inning.
“It’s great,” Kody Clemens said. “The experience at Fenway is amazing. ... To be able to play in the game was super cool. I just had fun out there today. It was awesome.”
Roger Clemens said: “Just think about — I put myself in his shoes — even though he’s my kid, he’s here at Fenway, and he obviously wants to perform well, hitting a home run would be the ultimate thing to do and he goes up there up in a clutch situation and does it. Just a great moment and I’m glad we’re here.”
Jarren Duran had an RBI triple and a double for Boston, which has lost three of four.
Padres 2, Pirates 1: Visiting San Diego’s Fernando Tatis Jr. sprinted home on a wild pitch by Pittsburgh closer David Bednar in the top of the ninth inning to lift the Padres past the Pirates at rainy PNC Park.
Tatis, who exited Friday night’s win in the third inning after taking a 93 mph pitch off his left forearm, led off the ninth with a double. He stole third and took off when a pitch from Bednar (0-3) to Xander Bogaerts skipped in front of catcher Joey Bart. The ball squirted to Bart’s right and Tatis’ slide just beat Bart’s lunging tag to give the Padres their fourth straight victory.
Manny Machado hit his third homer of the season for San Diego, which won despite managing just three hits. Jason Adam (3-0) worked a perfect eighth. Robert Suarez walked Oneil Cruz with one out in the ninth, but Bryan Reynolds lined out to Bogaerts at short and Bogaerts doubled off Cruz at first to end it as Robert picked up his 13th save.
Rays 3, Yankees 2: Curtis Mead and José Caballero had RBIs in a two-run eighth inning, and visiting Tampa Bay overcame Aaron Judge’s 11th home run to beat New York and stop a four-game losing streak.
Judge has four homers in his past six games. The two-time AL MVP is hitting a major league-leading .432 and has a 29-game on-base streak. He is 26 for 52 during a 13-game hitting streak.
Phillies 7, Diamondbacks 2: Aaron Nola pitched six shutout innings in his first win of the season and host Philadelphia beat Arizona.
J.T. Realmuto and Max Kepler homered for Philadelphia in its sixth win in seven games. The Phillies will try for a sweep of the weekend series on Sunday.
Nola (1-5) struck out eight in his first start since he pitched seven sparkling innings in a no-decision against the Cubs last weekend. The veteran right-hander went 0-5 with a 6.43 ERA in his first five starts of the year.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a two-run homer for the Diamondbacks in the seventh.
Astros 8, White Sox 3: Jake Meyers homered twice and set a career high with seven RBIs, helping visiting Houston beat Chicago.
Batting ninth, Meyers had four hits in his third career multihomer game.
Hunter Brown (5-1) struck out nine in six innings, winning his fifth straight decision. The right-hander allowed three runs — all in the first inning — and four hits.
Andrew Vaughn had two hits and two RBIs for the last-place White Sox. Fraser Ellard (0-2) got the loss.
Guardians 5, Blue Jays 3: Daniel Schneemann hit his first career grand slam and added a solo shot, leading visiting Cleveland to a come-from-behind victory over Toronto.
With the Blue Jays leading 3-1 and two outs in the ninth inning, Schneemann pulled an 0-1 pitch from Yimi García into the stands in right field for his first multihomer game and fourth long ball of the season.
Giants 6, Rockies 3: Matt Chapman hit a grand slam to help host San Francisco beat lowly Colorado.
Chapman connected against Jake Bird (0-1) with one out in the sixth, capping a five-run inning after the Rockies scored three times in the top of the frame. It was Chapman’s third career grand slam, and the first for the Giants this season.
Colorado dropped to a major league-worst 6-27.
Luis Matos hit a solo homer for the Giants. Randy Rodríguez got three outs for the win, and Ryan Walker handled the ninth for his sixth save.
Cubs 6, Brewers 2: Pete Crow-Armstrong and Dansby Swanson hit back-to-back homers off Jose Quintana in the fourth inning as visiting Chicago defeated Milwaukee.
Kyle Tucker also went deep to help the NL Central-leading Cubs beat the two-time defending division champions for a second straight night. Chicago’s Jameson Taillon (2-1), Julian Merryweather and Brad Keller combined on a four-hitter.
Quintana (4-1) had allowed a total of three runs and one homer over 23 2/3 innings in his first four starts with the Brewers, but he gave up six runs and three homers in five innings Saturday.
Mariners 2, Rangers 1: Rowdy Tellez hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the ninth inning and visiting Seattle beat Texas for its sixth consecutive victory.
Jorge Polanco led off the ninth with a pinch-hit double off Chris Martin (0-4). Polanco advanced to third on Ben Williamson’s grounder before scoring on Tellez’s pinch-hit liner into center.
Andrés Muñoz — the AL reliever of the month for April — got three outs for his 12th save. The right-hander has not allowed a run in 16 consecutive appearances to begin the season, tying the franchise record.
Nationals 11, Reds 6: Amed Rosario homered and drove in four runs to propel visiting Washington to a victory over Cincinnati.
Rosario, who hit a two-out RBI double in the fourth inning off Reds starter Nick Lodolo (3-3) to tie it at 3, connected on a three-run shot for his second homer this season to put the Nationals up 6-3 in the sixth.
Royals 4, Orioles 0: Kris Bubic made it through five innings despite an early rain delay and visiting Kansas City hit three solo homers in a victory over Baltimore.
Cavan Biggio, Kyle Isbel and Vinnie Pasquantino went deep for the Royals, who have won 10 of their last 12. Kansas City has pitched four shutouts in its past eight games.
Marlins 9, Athletics 6: Kyle Stowers hit a game-ending grand slam for his second homer of the day, sending host Miami to a victory over Mason Miller and the Athletics.
The Marlins were down to their last out when Stowers drove a 101.7-mph fastball from Miller (0-1) deep to left-center for his sixth homer of the season. He also hit a tying two-run shot in the third against Osvaldo Bido.
It was Stowers’ second multihomer performance in the past three games.
