The Twins Walk it off in the 17th inning and Alex Cora gets mad, a breakdown
What Happened
The Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox battle for 17 grueling innings in a tightly contested game. In the bottom of the 17th, the Twins' Eddie Rosario steps up to the plate with a runner on first and one out. Rosario attempts to lay down a bunt and Red Sox manager Alex Cora immediately argues that Rosario was out of the batter's box when he made contact. Cora angrily demands that the umpire ask Rosario if he was out of the box, but the umpire confirms that Rosario was legally in the box. Undeterred, Rosario then rips a double down the line, advancing the runner to third base. With first base open, Cora elects to intentionally walk the next two batters, loading the bases for Max Kepler. Kepler steps in and delivers the game-winning hit, a line drive down the line that scores the winning run and gives the Twins the victory. As the Twins celebrate on the field, Cora is visibly upset, believing the umpires made the wrong call on Rosario's bunt attempt earlier in the inning. Cora argues passionately with the umpires, convinced that Rosario was out of the box. However, upon reviewing the replay later, Cora admits that he was mistaken and takes responsibility for his outburst. The dramatic 17-inning affair showcases the intensity and high stakes of the matchup between these two American League powerhouses. Both teams battled deep into the night, with the Twins ultimately prevailing in a nail-biting conclusion that left Cora and the Red Sox questioning the crucial call that went against them.
