Moore (W, 1-1) recorded the final out of the fourth, before striking out the side in a perfect fifth. Rain began to fall in the sixth inning. Right-hander Christian Herberholz (S, 1) allowed a base hit but still faced the minimum in his lone inning of work thanks to a ground ball double play.
The rain picked up at the beginning of the seventh inning. Colin Tuft saw three pitches to lead off the frame before the game went into a 39-minute delay, and was eventually called official, after storms in the area persisted.
