Julio Rodríguez: The 2022 AL Rookie of the Year got a huge ovation when he was introduced pregame before the T-Mobile Park crowd, but the hometown fans had to wait to see him play. He entered the game in center field in the fifth inning and tipped his helmet when he came to bat in the seventh to chants of “Julio!” He struck out swinging on a 101.2 mph fastball by Camilo Doval. In the ninth, with the crowd on its feet and the tying run on base, he drew a two-out walk against Craig Kimbrel and wound up getting stranded at first base.
