Grueling marathon ends in the 16th inning as the Twins beat the Indians 2-1

As I am discovering this season, there’s a thin line between pitcher’s duel and absolute borefest of a game. This game toed that line, but I feel it leaned toward the former through most of the standard nine innings. Jose Berrios is something else with the wicked movement on every pitch he throws, and Carlos Carrasco was dealing. Once they were both pulled, though (both after the 7th inning), it quickly flipped to a drawn out, boring game.

Both offenses popped up everything in sight; even the occasional base hit was rewarded with a couple pop outs to finish off what could otherwise be an exciting inning.
