RE-WATCH 2019: Baltimore at New York, March 31
Apr 7 2020
(Follow this link for an introduction and overview of this series.)
Date and venue: March 31, 2019 at Yankee Stadium; New York, NY
Pitching matchup: RHP Dylan Bundy (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. LHP J.A. Happ (0-0, 0.00 ERA)
Setup and context: The rubber match of a three-game set on Opening Weekend. This one started after a three-plus hour rain delay, with BAL announcer Gary Thorne saying "Major League Baseball this year is really pushing to get every game played. They do not want cancellations, unless absolutely necessary." What a difference a year makes.
Result: Baltimore jumps out to a 4-0 lead after touching up Happ for three in the first; they go on to win 7-5. In a minor miracle, Bundy doesn't allow a HR, but walks five and lasts just 3.2...
Almost!
