The only Twins hitter to reach was Brooks Lee, who singled off Misiorowski's leg in the second. Meanwhile the Twins turned to Connor Prielipp for the unenviable task of beating the best team and the best pitcher. Victor Caratini somehow ended his long 0-fer with a single but the Twins were unable to score him from second base. The final pitch Prielipp threw was a slider called a ball that hit the zone with Caratini deciding not to challenge for some reason. With Lewis on second, Clemens seemed to get a hold of another one, launching a ball deep to right field.
