Hello! This is Bryan Joiner, filling in last minute on the recap for the rubber match between the Nationals and Sox featuring two 34-year-old starters: Patrick Corbin and Christopher Allen Sale.
Rob Refsnyder hit the first pitch of the game for a single, because Corbin is a lefty, and Refsnyder is legally required to get a hit off him. Since neither Rafael Devers nor Trevor Story is Refsnyder, they didn’t get hits off Corbin and the inning ended without much fanfare. Unless you count this:
Jeter Downs and Michael Chavis just turned a double play on Trevor Story.
