The Rare Inning

Craig Kimbrel pitched a nine-pitch, three strikeout inning in the ninth Thursday afternoon:

Here’s how the ninth inning played out:

Hernan Perez: Strike looking, strike swinging, strike swinging
Travis Shaw: Strike looking, foul strike*, strike looking
Domingo Santana: Foul strike, strike swinging, strike swinging

*Looking strike in the story. I rewatched the inning.

Kimbrel didn’t waste an 0-2 count. All the 0-2 pitches were too close to take. It’s the third time a Red Sox pitcher went nine for nine in an inning.
