A 29-year-old son of the seven-time Cy Young Award winner, Kody Clemens extended his hitting streak to a career-high eight games when he homered off leading off the second against Taj Bradley (4-4). Joe Ryan (5-2) won his fourth straight decision, allowing one run and five hits in six innings. Jhoan Duran worked around a walk in the ninth for his ninth save in 10 chances, throwing six of 21 pitches 100 mph or higher. Carlos Correa had three hits for the Twins, who went ahead on Brooks Lee's first-inning sacrifice fly. Lee hit into a run-scoring forceout in the sixth and Kameron Misner had a run-scoring groundout in the seventh.

ESPN's Tony Kornheiser explains why Pete Rose's reinstatement doesn't guarantee Hall of Fame
Baseball fans are already calling for Pete Rose to enter the Hall of Fame after MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced he, alongside 16 deceased others, including "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, were taken off the permanently ineligible list on Tuesday. However, Manfred is not the one that would be placing Rose in the hallowed halls of Cooperstown, as ESPN's Tony Kornheiser reminded all those fans on Tuesday. "Rob Manfred does not put you in the Hall of Fame. The baseball writers, who are members, put you in the Hall of Fame," Kornheiser said on "Pardon the Interruption." "Those baseball writers, as we know well, are guardians of the game. They take violations very seriously. Joe Jackson fixed games, OK? Pete Rose bet on games as a manager of one team. That doesn't go away." Fans rushed to social media to voice their displeasure that MLB had waited until now to take Rose off its permanently ineligible list. With that, many felt the Hall of Fame was the right next step to rectify Rose's absence from the game since the early 1990s. Kornheiser, though, brought up another class of baseball players that baseball writers have not voted into the Hall yet. "You know who else is eligible for the Hall of Fame right now? Barry Bonds is eligible, Mark McGwire is eligible," he said. "Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens, they're eligible. Are they getting in any time soon? Doesn't look that way from the voting." Now, this is not to say Kornheiser does not want to see Rose in the Hall one day. "As you know, Mike (Wilbon), I would put Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame," he added. "I would put his sins on the plaque and his accomplishments on the plaque. I agree that, when your life is gone, it's OK to be eligible for something. But I do not see Pete Rose as a first-ballot Hall of Famer. I just don't." Rose, the MLB's all-time hits leader, was added to the permanently ineligible list after it was found he gambled on games while as a player and manager. Rose initially denied the accusations, but in 2004, he came clean and admitted to gambling. Manfred announced that the players' ineligibility from the game ends upon their deaths. "Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game," Manfred wrote in a letter, obtained by ESPN, to attorney Jeffrey M. Lenkov. "Moreover, it is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one that lasts a lifetime with no reprieve. Therefore, I have concluded that permanent ineligibility ends upon the passing of the disciplined individual, and Mr. Rose will be removed from the permanently ineligible list." President Donald Trump announced in March he would pardon Rose, who served five months in prison in 1990. In 2017, Rose was accused of statutory rape from an encounter decades earlier. "Major League Baseball didn't have the courage or decency to put the late, great, Pete Rose, also known as 'Charlie Hustle,' into the Baseball Hall of fame. Now he is dead, will never experience the thrill of being selected, even though he was a FAR BETTER PLAYER than most of those who made it, and can only be named posthumously. WHAT A SHAME!" Trump posted. Rose may be eligible for the Hall of Fame now, but it will be up to the baseball writers to vote him in to make it official.

Meet MLB star Gerrit Cole's wife Amy, from a family of athletes: she played softball at college and the future couple even worked out together … but why did she make him wait a year for a date?
MLB star Gerrit Cole revels in competition. The New York Yankees pitcher was matched up with his team's legendary outfielder and current American League MVP, Aaron Judge , for a backfield game as part of their spring training – and he couldn't stop gushing over it afterwards. 'It's fun to compete against him and then to be able to talk about him afterwards, that's special,' he said, per the New York Post. New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole doing pickoff drills during a spring training baseball workout in Tampa, Florida, in February. Photo: AP What made the experience even better was the fact that his role model, Roger Clemens , who was a guest instructor at the camp, was watching. 'It was awesome,' said Cole, before sharing the feedback he received from the 11-time MLB All-Star. '[Clemens] had some advice after the pen the other day … so far he really liked the foundation. It's gotta get better, but it's in a good spot,' he shared. Advertisement But whom does Cole go home to after a long day in the bullpen? Meet his wife, retired athlete Amy Cole (née Crawford). She once ran a food blog called A Coleinary Experience … but what else do we know about her? Amy and Gerrit Cole were college sweethearts Amy Cole and Gerrit Cole have been married since 2016. Photo: @amyc23/Instagram According to People, the Coles met when they were both attending UCLA. She was in the Bruins' softball team and he played baseball. They worked out together and were friends before Cole decided to ask her out. She said yes more than a year after he confessed his feelings, when she saw him put in the effort. 'I was moving into my new apartment, and Gerrit drove an hour and a half after a wedding just to help me move. My mum was there with me, and he showed up with a bouquet of flowers for her birthday,' she told Inside Weddings. Their first date happened soon after and they've been together since. They tied the knot in 2016 at The Ritz-Carlton in Santa Barbara, California. Her siblings are athletes too Amy Cole's brother Brandon Crawford is a former professional baseball player. Photo: @amyc23/Instagram Amy's brother is former MLB shortstop Brandon Crawford, who's also a UCLA Bruins alumnus, reports People. He played for the San Francisco Giants and concluded his professional run with the St Louis Cardinals in 2024. Amy supported her brother throughout his career; he even played with Gerrit in the 2015 All-Star Game. In an April 2022 match, she passionately cheered the Giants with her son Caden. Amy's sister, Jenna, played softball for the Bruins, like her.
