This is the first right-handed pitcher that the Twins have faced since Royce Lewis (hamstring) landed back on the IL. With Clemens at second base, Willi Castro will shift to left field, and Harrison Bader will be on the bench. Bader has set against right-handed pitching recently, so this might be the new lineup against righties with Lewis on the IL and Brooks Lee shifting over to third base. That would make Clemens more attractive in deeper formats, but it still seems like he’s going to sit against all left-handed pitchers.

The 30-year-old first baseman had started each of the team’s previous 17 games, so getting him a breather seems like a good idea. France has hit .264/.326/.366 with just five homers and 38 RBI through his first 291 plate appearances on the season. Kody Clemens will start in his place at first base and will bat seventh for the Twins against Brewers’ rookie right-hander Jacob Misiorowski on Friday night at Target Field.

Clemens hit one of four homers for the Twins on the day with a two-run shot off Nick Martinez. The 29-year-old has swatted seven homers on the season, and he’s slugging a solid .496 for his trouble. Unfortunately, that slugging mark has come with a .219 average, but hey, dingers.

Jeffers doubled in a pair off a wholly ineffective Nick Martinez, and then whalloped a two-run shot off Taylor Rogers that traveled an estimated 448 feet. He’s now homered five times in 2024 with a respectable slash of .255/.352/.400 over 199 at-bats. You can do worse, you can do better.

The sac fly might have been a hit — it was unclear whether Jonathan Clase caught the sinking liner to center without it hitting the grass — but the D-backs declined to challenge it with a 9-1 lead. With Corbin Carroll out, Smith hit higher than sixth in the lineup for just the second time since mid-May; the only other time it happened was also with Carroll absent. Smith has an excellent .274/.394/.458 line for the season, but most of that production came in the first four weeks of the season.

The Rangers were one strike away from being shut out in this one when Heim blasted a 362-foot (96.1 mph EV) two-run shot off of Ian Hamilton to pull them to within three runs at 5-2. Heim also doubled off of Will Warren in the ballgame, finishing the night 2-for-4. On the season, the 29-year-old backstop is now slashing .262/.309/.429 to go along with six long balls and 17 RBI.

Smith was just 1-for-19 in the month of May coming into Saturday’s game, but broke out of that funk in a nice way. His double in the ninth extended the D-Backs’ lead to 3-0, and gave him 10 RBI over 37 games played. Even with his scuffles in May, he’s still hitting .302/.442/.531 over 96 at-bats.
