Not exactly bottom of the ninth but the ‘out’ proved crucial.
Torii Hunter is not as young as he used to be.
No harm in that, but perhaps it is worth remembering when your team have the bases loaded and are trying to build on a 3-0 lead.
Top of the second innings with the bases loaded, Hunter reckoned he could set off for home and, due to Jeremy Guthrie’s slow pitching action, steal a run for his Kansas City Royals side.
It went horribly wrong. Still, his Twins team beat the Royals 3-0 so he can chalk this down to even more experience.
