Things nearly got off to an ugly start, when the Brewers greeted Braden Shipley with a lead-off double, which Yasmany Tomas almost caught at the wall, but instead ended up turning into a triple. A good play by Paul Goldschmidt at first held the runner at third for the first out. This was followed by a great one from Chris Owings, who fired home to cutdown the lead runner there. Another ground-ball out allowed Shipley to escape with a zero in the first - it looked extremely unlikely when there was a man on third with no outs.
