AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Kody Clemens delivered a walk-off grand slam in the ninth inning to lift the Minnesota Twins to a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals. The dramatic hit came after the Twins were held without a hit for the first six innings by Royals pitcher Noah Cameron.

The Twins trailed 3-0 entering the bottom of the ninth, facing defeat after being no-hit through six innings. Noah Cameron of the Royals pitched effectively, keeping Minnesota’s offense stifled for most of the game.

With two outs and two strikes in the ninth inning, Kody Clemens stepped to the plate with the bases loaded. He then hit a grand slam, instantly turning a 3-0 deficit into a 4-3 win for the Twins. The home run provided a dramatic conclusion to a game where the team had struggled offensively.

The victory served as a positive moment for the Twins following their recent decision to sell off players. The source notes that Clemens’ walk-off slam “quells sting of ‘25 selloff,” suggesting the win helped ease fan disappointment over the team's earlier moves.
