Record: 1-4, Pace: 32-130
A tight, well pitched, well played ballgame on defense was spoiled in the 9th inning when Diamondbacks closer Mark Melancon gave up the go ahead run to take the loss to the Astros, 2-1. While it will be tempting to focus on that 9th inning meltdown, the real story is the near total lack of offense.
The game started off with a two base error from Sergio Alcantara at 3rd. One out later starter Madison Bumgarner hit Alex Bregman but got a popout and hard lineout to center to escape that jam.
