So my first game of MLB 15 was Nationals at Orioles (I'm the O's of course). Strasburg vs. Chen.
It's a pitchers duel until the 5th inning. Solo homer for Wieters to right (my first run/homerun on 15). A few batters later I hit a 2 run shot with De Aza. Everything's going well until the 7th. Chen gets over 100 pitches and gets into some trouble. Bases loaded with 1 out but I leave him in there to face Nate McLouth. Strike out. I'm thinking "okay, 2 outs bases loaded top of the 7th up 3-0. let me try to get Rendon out to before I pull Chen." Bad call. Rendon hit a grand slam to take the lead. Bottom of the 7th Hardy doubles and Schoop singles to center to tie the game. We're back in it!
I get to the bottom of the 9th and hit a leadoff double with Wieters. Hardy flew to right so I move to third with 1 out. Lough then proceeds to pop out and Schoop does as well, end of inning. Top of the 10th the Nats load the bases again with 2 outs and Harper steps to the plate. I haven't gotten him out all game. 3-2 count and he fouls off 3 pitches, then a groundout to Hardy and ends the inning. Whew!
Bottom of the 10th... De Aza flies out. Machado flies out. Adam Jones 3-2 count... GONE to left field and I get the walk off win first game on! With none other than the O's clubhouse leader Adam Jones.
Now I ask you what happened in your first game?
