Detroit Tigers catcher Tucker Barnhart called for a slider.
Right-hander Will Vest stood on the mound with the bases loaded and two outs, determined to protect a 4-2 lead with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning against the Baltimore Orioles.
On a 1-2 count, Vest offered his best slider of the night, breaking down and away, for strike three on a checked swing. Rylan Bannon darted straight to the Orioles' dugout. Just like that, Vest had won Friday's game for the Tigers. Detroit improved to 10-23 with its fourth win in 20 games.
