One of the rare games I get to watch. Good start for Rodon.

Candelario... Curve hangs outside, 1-0 Slider on the corner inside, taken, 1-1 Fb misses inside at the top, 2-1 Flies open on a slider misses way up and outside, 3-1 Fb in the zone low/away, fouled, 3-2 FB up and in Candelario, misses under, hits a high fly to Verdugo in left center, and shakes his head in disgust. Easy play, inning over. 1 down, 5 to go. Bottom 1, 0-0 15 pitch 1-2-3 in the 1st for Rodon, and that inning could hardly have gone better for him with 2 K's and a high flyout.

As usual, on the webcast, I'm about 3-4 pitches behind the action.
Volpe steps in... FB well outside, 1-0 FB misses the corner inside by about an inch, but considering some of the calls Rodon got in his half, that one's not too bad, 1-1 Change hangs up and away, 2-1 Change into the top of the zone called strike 2. Slider in a crushable spot, in the middle thigh high, but Volpe misses under, pops to Marte in foul ground, 1 down.

Soto takes a FB near middle for a strike. Gets a sweeper outside middle, pulls through the right side for a 1 out single.

Judge takes a back leg sweeper that bounced, 1-0 Change waist high, outer 3rd, popped to India on the grass in right center, 2 down. Missed a hittable change there.

Soto is always on base. Maybe time for him to leadoff and move Volpe. Boone said they'd think about it. Volpe could steal more elsewhere in the lineup too.

Davis misses a FB above middle at 95, 0-1 Fouls off a FB inside middle, 0-2 Takes a sweeper down and in, 1-2 Takes a FB up and in, 2-2 A sweeper just below the one he fouled off, jams himself and breaks his bat, grounded weakly to De La Cruz, he gets the force to India at 2nd, inning over.
Top 2, 0-0. 14 pitches in the 1st for Abbott.
Steer, Stephenson and Marte for the Reds in the 2nd.

Nice catch by Soto but it looked like he's in pain.

Steer goes after a 1st pitch FB on the corner away, waist high, hits a fliner to deep right, but Soto goes back to the track and catches it with a late jump, 1 down.

Stephenson takes a FB low. Then gets a waist high FB on the outside corner, hits a fliner off the end of the bat to center, falls in front of Judge for a 1 out single, and Rodon has to pitch from the stretch for the first time tonight
