Goes yard twice Friday Clement went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 7-4 win over the Tigers.

Impact Getting the start at second base and batting ninth, Clement was able to launch the first two homers of his brief big-league career. The 25-year-old has seen his playing time fall with Andres Gimenez back on the Cleveland roster, and even after Friday's power display, Clement's .250/.296/.359 slash line in 31 games doesn't make a strong case for a regular role.

Three hits, two runs in win Clement went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's 6-1 win over Detroit.

Impact The 25-year-old got a start at third base to help Jose Ramirez avoid extra wear and tear on his sore elbow. Clement was solid from the bottom of the order, posting his first career three-hit game. The infielder has a modest .231/.277/.269 slash line with four RBI, 11 runs scored and three doubles through 86 plate appearances. He's a pure contact hitter, as he's striking out only 12.8 percent and walking just 3.7 percent of the time.
