 No balls and two strikes to count. You need a base runner. Down by two in the ninth. Kopech steps towards first, now comes to the plate, and that one called strike three. Just caught him staring at the fastball, and there's one down. That'll bring up Matt Walner. Walner, two out of three. Struck out, singled, and homered. He counted for the lone run on the board for the Twins.
