Honestly, I’m not even sure where to start with this one. While watching the game, I was basically formulating the recap in my head for the certain sort of game it seemed to be, only for the whole thing to get upended in the seventh inning and morph into something else entirely. It was kinda nuts, in fact. But I suppose we should just start at the beginning.
There was a lot of pregame talk about Diamondbacks starter Robbie Ray’s last outing on September 11 against the Mets, in which he lasted 2⁄3 of an inning and gave up 5 earned runs due to a blister on one of the fingers on his pitching hand.
