Lance McCullers came out of the chute firing on all cylinders, recording three ground ball outs on nine pitches - seven of which came for strikes.
In the top of the second, Evan Gattis led off the inning with a ringing double into the right center field gap. Then, Benny Hill came to visit. On a wild pitch, Gattis had minor hesitation before attempting to advance to third as former teammate Juan Centeno scrambled to recover the ball. Centeno fired the ball down to third, but Gattis managed to sneak in with a hilarious belly flop tumble of a “slide” that looked just as much like a bear falling into a booby trap pit as you’d probably imagine.
