With his family in attendance, Nick Kingham dominated as he made his major league debut. Kingham attacked the zone, showing excellent command of his primary and secondary pitches.
Perfect through 6 2⁄3 innings, DeJong canceled Kingham’s extended segment on SportCenter with a single to right. His final line was 7 IP 1 H 0 ER 0 BB 9 SO.
The bats were relatively silent through the first five innings. But with one out in the bottom of the 6th, Marte reached first base on an infield hit. Down to a 1-2 count, Josh Bell choked up on the bat and followed up with a bloop base hit to right-center, bringing Marte around to third.
