There are two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning and the tying runs are in scoring position. This represents the best chance for the Boston Red Sox to rally for a win to even the series. The game is on the line, so naturally, manager Alex Cora turns to… Chris Owings?
The seldom used utility player was called upon to pinch-hit for the left-handed Marco Hernandez against southpaw Jose Alvarez. Needless to say, it didn’t pan out. Owings whiffed on a changeup down and in for strike three, ending the threat while stranding a pair of runners.
