The game was in Arlington, but she had a different Texas city to her name. She was Guerin Austin, NESN's favorite sideline reporter (sorry Jahmai). When Tzu-Wei Lin hit his first major-league home run to give Boston a 6-5 lead over Texas in the top of the ninth, she headed down to the Sox dugout for an interview with America's favorite Taiwanese third sacker. Fearing another "Gatorade episode," she waltzed up to Tzu-Wei (post-Kimbrel time, of course) entirely nude. Lin reached a probing hand, but she swatted it away with one of her own. "We haven't quite reached third base yet, Tzu-Wei-tie."

"Not an issue," he responded, "that's my position. It's about to get spicy in the hot corner."

Half an hour later, the two emerged from a cloud of dust larger than any made in any game ever at Globe Life Park. From that point on, Lin was the "Tzu-Na-Mi" to Ms. Guerin Austin.

When questioned about his sex appeal, Lin responded, "Six appeal? No, no. I only handle appeal plays at third base, number five on the scorecard."
