Ohtani doubled with 2 outs in the first.

It was all soft serve after that.

That was the shiftfuck ground ball to 3B that was hit so slow it turned into a double.

At bat says Fletcher singled on a sharp grounder to right leading off the 3rd.

So Trout soft single
Ohtani shiftfuck double and a soft single
Fletcher with that single in the 3rd and the blip in the 8th

Damn good pitching.

And Pressly threw 4 strikes to Trout.

Catcher Dustin Garneau told the umpire and George Springer that Andrew Heaney was going to start off with a slow curve in honor of Tyler Skaggs. Springer was told he could swing but he told Garneau he would take the pitch.
