The action began immediately, so quickly that NBC Sports didn’t pick it up right away. Kyle Schwarber started off the game breaking an 0 for 17 by roping a leadoff double to right.
Trea Turner then poked a sinker to right to score Schwarber. Turner was caught leaning off first base by Seiya Suzuki right was Schwarber was crossing the plate.
