MINNEAPOLIS -- Jack Suwinski came to the plate in the seventh inning Friday at Target Field with a chance at redemption. Instead, what happened was more of the same.
With runners on the corners, one out and the Pirates down 3-1, Suwinski had a chance to be the hero. He represented the go-ahead run, but even a productive out would go a long way to making a comeback.
Suwinski fell behind in the count 1-2, and the fourth pitch of the at-bat was a Griffin Jax breaking ball that he would admit tied him up:
"Just sitting, looking in a different spot and getting that slider on the corner," Suwinski said, going through the at-bat.
