  • DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM: Max Scherzer (+6.7%) fans 7 but walks 3 over 6+ IP, letting in two runs while he was pitching with an inherited runner coming around after he leaves.
  • Man at the crux: Michael Taylor (+4.1%) smacks a two-out, two-run, game-tying home run in the 7th (+25.3%), and then strikes out to end the game with two men on and a one-run deficit (-15.5%).
  • Unhelpful relief: Felipe Rivero (-7.5%) faces a single batter and gets a meltdown for allowing a single to set up the go-behind run.
