3-3 after 5

[Cudahy]

They stopped the game with the winning run on second base with 2 outs in the top of the ninth.
The Boxscore had a really difficult time keeping track of all the minor leaguers coming into the game.
I wasn't sure it was even the same game when they started listing players I'd never heard of.
At least we're still undefeated after 4 games. Weird that Lester has only pitched in 2 B games so far.

With Crawford not being ready for opening day, McDonald will be extra backup player, so there's not really any opening for a position player.
