Yeah, this is not going to be a particularly detailed account. Why should I bother, when those playing the game chose to make it one which only loosely resembled baseball? Multiple innings were called when fewer than three outs had been recorded, and the contest came to a halt after 71⁄2 innings, as previously arranged. Though, to be honest, this was probably close to a mercy rule as far as the D-backs were concerned.
Merrill Kelly’s start was, probably, the chief bright spot of the afternoon, despite allowing a walk and a home-run with two outs in the first inning.
