What happened: Play was halted for an injury delay involving Zach Neto in the bottom of the second inning, with the score 2-0. The nature and severity of the issue were not immediately clear from the in-game advisory.
Why it matters: Neto is a key everyday contributor, so any in-game scare carries weight for the lineup and the rest of the series. An early-inning delay leaves his availability for the remainder of the game in question until further word arrives.
What to watch: Watch for an official update on whether Neto stays in the game or exits, and any post-game word on the nature of the injury.
