TORONTO – Give Martin Perez some credit. He threw the cutter close enough to the strike zone that any hitter would have to consider swinging but far enough inside that it would be tough to drive. It was a borderline pitch – technically speaking a ball – but close enough that home plate umpire Adam Hamari still called it a strike. Perfect placement.
Well, perfect placement for the Twins at least. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., didn’t like the call, and his body language reflected that frustration when he placed his hands on his knees and sighed in apparent surprise.
