The most electrifying entrance in Major League Baseball on the night the Minnesota Twins clinched a playoffs spot – it doesn't get much better than that.

With the Twins leading 8-5 entering the top of the 9th inning, they called on ace closer Jhoan Duran to seal the game.

And he entered the field to his now customary buildup routine, delighting the packed crowd at Target Field.

Bally Sports North, which has been criticized in the past for always cutting to commercial for Duran's entrance, did so again on Friday night – but did show a brief highlights package when the broadcast resumed.

As it turned out, Duran struggled to get through the 9th, giving up a walk and two hits that allowed the Angels to pull a run back, and even loaded the bases before getting the final two outs.

Less of that in the playoffs, Jhoan, we don't think our hearts could take it.
