Jake Cronenworth evens the score in the 8th inning after an 8-pitch at-bat! https://t.co/unP2bljgrb Via @MLB on X

What happened: Jake Cronenworth worked an eight-pitch at-bat before lining a single to first base in the bottom half.

Why it matters: The run erased a one-run deficit. The score remained level through nine innings, forcing extras.

What to watch: Cronenworth's next late-game plate appearances will test whether that patient approach carries forward.
