T1 — Don't tell Scherzer that this is an exhibition. Nats ace showing out in front of home fans. Throwing absolute heat. FOX's microphones picking up his audible tennis-like grunting with each flamethrower. He strikes out Betts & Altuve to start game. Walks Trout on full count & gives up single up middle to Martinez. Men on 1B & 3B with 2 outs.

T1 || AL 0, NL 0

Interesting to see the starting position players still playing this deep into the game, especially considering that the game no longer decides home-field advantage in the World Series.

T8 — Just like the Cubs-Reds series finale a few Sundays ago, Votto makes a mistake that leads to a big hit. Votto drops foul ball, which leads to Segura (who was winner of final fan vote in AL) hitting 3-R HR.
