Walker Jenkins' Clutch Home Run Ties the Game in the 9th Inning

Down to their final out, Walker Jenkins delivered one of the biggest swings of his young MLB career. With two outs and a runner on in the ninth, Jenkins turned around a 100.9 MPH fastball from Angels Ben Joyce and launched a game-tying two-run shot to right-center, tying the game at 3. The blast traveled 394 feet with a 103.4 MPH exit velocity. The homer capped a breakout night for Jenkins, who recorded his first three-hit game in the Majors. The Twins eventually took a 4-3 lead in the 10th, but the Angels rallied for two runs in the bottom half to win 5-4. Even in the loss, Jenkins’ clutch ninth-inning swing provided a highlight and showed the impact of his power against one of the hardest-throwing pitchers in baseball.
