What happened: An injury delay involving Donovan Walton paused play during the bottom of the first inning. The stoppage occurred with a 1-0 score.

Why it matters: First-inning delays force immediate tactical adjustments and can alter early bullpen usage. Unexpected stoppages disrupt the rhythm of the game from the outset.

What to watch: The game's resumption will clarify Walton's availability moving forward.
