What happened: Jeremy Pena was involved in an injury delay during the top of the sixth inning with the score 2-1. Play was halted while he was attended to before the game resumed.
Why it matters: Any in-game stoppage involving a regular contributor carries roster and lineup weight, since an exit could ripple through the rest of the night and the days that follow. How quickly Pena returned to action is the first read on how serious the moment was.
What to watch: Watch for whether Pena stays in the game and for any postgame word on his status.
