Trevor Larnach led off the game with a home run, Kody Clemens added a three-run shot, and the Minnesota Twins clinched another series in Texas with a 12-2 win over the Rangers on Tuesday night.

Larnach drove the game’s second pitch 425 feet deep into the right-field seats. The 10 leadoff homers allowed by the Rangers this season are twice as many as any other team.

Clemens’ 11th homer made it 5-0 in the third. Josh Bell, who was born in nearby Irving and grew up in the area, had two hits and two RBIs.

Minnesota right-hander Zebby Matthews (3-4) struck out four without a walk in seven innings. He allowed both Texas runs and threw 68 of 93 pitches for strikes.

The Twins have won the first two in this three-game set for their fourth consecutive series win at Texas. Their 13-5 record at Globe Life Field is the best by any opposing American League team since the ballpark opened in 2020.
