- Ty Kelly drove in the team’s lone run, going 1-3 with a single.
- Nick Williams got the call up from the minor leagues to replace Howie Kendrick, and went 1-3 in his debut with a single.
- Odubel Herrera hit out of the leadoff spot, and went 0-3.
- Freddy Galvis went 0-4 out of the two-hole.

Final Thoughts
Nick Williams wasn’t able to give the offense a spark in his debut, but it was nice to see a prospect that actually has a chance of sticking around in the majors get the call up and an opportunity. The previous call-up, Cameron Perkins, just isn’t an everyday major leaguer, and there was no reason for a guy like Williams to be held up in the minors at this point.
