WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today was a weird day at the ballpark. From the time of the first pitch, just after 7 p.m. ET, less time was spent playing baseball than was spent waiting for the lights to come back on at Nationals Park.
After the game, both teams were granted permission to add a 26th player to their roster Saturday. I mentioned that in my game story, but failed to mention that the 26th player can only be used in the second game — the game that was originally scheduled for 1 p.m. PT. Please make a note of it.
Also Friday, the Dodgers signed top draft pick Walker Buehler, but not their next pick, Kyle Funkhouser.
