Following a 23-minute rain delay, Michael Fulmer pitched the eighth and Adbert Alzolay needed seven pitches in the ninth to secure his seventh save.McKinney ran back and attempted to make a leaping catch but the ball went slightly out of his reach and landed in the glove of a fan sitting in the first row.
