As the game started, it was instantly apparent that Alex Colome's command was poor. He was missing often, mostly with fastballs, mostly armside. He got out of the first inning unscathed, despite allowing two baserunners and a hard-hit out, but the lack of command bit him in the second inning, starting against Clint Robinson. Two fastballs and a cutter all sailed too far outside. That put Colome in a count where Robinson could expect a fastball, and he clearly was. When the fastball came down and in, Robinson jumped it, blasting to right field for the first run of the game.
