Vaseg had to go to the emergency room for a pregame accident, but returned to work in the fifth inning with a sling on his right arm. After his 2-1 win over Los Angeles, he threw himself into a post-game chat with Austin Barnes.

Burns hit a home run in the game and told Vasegu, "That was for you."
