Danny Worth Strikes out Two with Knuckleball

The knuckler.

With his team trailing 9-2 to the Rangers on Thursday, Tigers infielder Danny Worth was called upon to pitch in the ninth inning. To everyone's surprise, Worth broke out a nasty knuckleball and struck out two Rangers in an impressive inning of work.

Perhaps Worth has been working with Mike Carp to perfect the pitch.
