Catcher Erik Kratz got Eugenio Suarez looking on a 59-mph knuckleball
Very quietly,
To be fair, not every backup catcher has a knuckleball like this:
"We don't want to wear anybody else's arms out," Kratz told MLB.com's Adam McCalvy after the game. "So if it can get some guys fresh so we can use them tomorrow or the next day, I definitely take pride in that."
That's not even Kratz's first Major League strikeout -- he made two pitching appearances back in 2016, one with the Astros and one with the Pirates, and recorded a K with Pittsburgh. Does one of baseball's best bullpens happen to have an opening?
