Notes & reviews

  • Nice pickup
  • High throw; Grimm argued he tagged the runner before he reached the bag but Ump Pfirman disagreed.
  • Grimes and Fournier went for the ball and collided; Fournier was knocked to the ground and injured slightly. This was the 3rd straight 3-2 pitch Freigau had fouled off.
  • This was the next pitch following the FLE2; low and away
  • The ball took a sudden high hop over Adams
  • Into LF bleachers
  • Threw into Brooklyn bench
  • Grigsby's 1st appearance since breaking his shoulder in LA in the spring. NYTEM coverage ended here
  • Grimes' finger was slightly hurt by a batted ball last inning and was forced to retire.
  • Infield hit
