Roki Sasaki's rehab was extended by a calf issue, his Triple-A performance and command remain poor, and his immediate MLB role is uncertain.
Things did not start well for Hurston, as a one out walk to Cal Raleigh in the first turned into a two run homer from Julio Rodriguez.

Waldrep struggled with command again in the third, issuing a walk to Arozarena and hitting Rodriguez on the hand, but struck out Raleigh and Suarez on his way to a scoreless frame.
