A few notes... The first hit, is the line drive to Cain one that he nornally nabs? Nerves and caution maybe kept him from going all out? And yep Shields is out of his groove. Hopefully ne finds it in the 2nd and beyond, He threw 32 pitches and gave up 3 runs in the inning and was one pitch away from getting away with just one run. But he threw one too many fastballs to a fastball hitter, With 1st base open, even if you can't get the off speed over THROW IT ! But a long way to go here...
Bottom of the 1st... After 2 quick outs, Cain had a nice AB to extend the inning.. took some pitches, fouled a few off and eventually got on when hit on the back foot by a 2-2 pitch. Hosmer opened some eyes and hopes with a smash to right center. But it was caught on a nice running play on the track close to the wall.
