I hesitated to put as much as I did in the title. I’m going to dispense with my usual introductory thoughts on issues that I thought relevant going into the game and on what I thought the key to the game was. Instead I’m going to get right to the action. If, by chance, you recorded the game, you’re in for a wild 4 hours and 24 minutes, as the game featured a little bit of everything. If not, I won’t spoil anything more, and hope you enjoy following along. I’ll just leave this here for emphasis.
Dexter Fowler struck out looking on a low 3-2 fastball to lead off the game.
