- Rookie righthander Nolan McLean impressed in his MLB debut with 5 1/3 scoreless innings, eight strikeouts, two hits allowed and four walks.
- Francisco Alvarez jammed his right thumb on a headfirst slide Sunday, exited the game, and will undergo an MRI in New York on Monday.
- Francisco Lindor sustained a scorching run at the plate, going 14-for-23 as the offense also benefited from younger bats in the Little League Classic.
