10 runs in 1st inning and scary incident

The Dodgers scored 10 runs in the first inning in Saturday night’s game, all off of Rockies’ starter Mark Redman, who actually stayed in the game and pitched five scoreless innings after that. What a game. Nine of the runs that inning came with two outs, the last four coming on a grand slam by Matt Kemp. I wonder how many fans showed up late to Dodger Stadium and missed the extremely-rare 10-run inning.

The scary incident came in the fourth inning, when plate umpire Kerwin Danley was hit by a 96-mph fastball in the jaw, right below the mask. David Chalk of Bugs & Cranks uploaded a video of it here. According to the Los Angeles Times, Danley was expected to be released from the hospital sometime last night. We all hope Danley is OK and he is in our thoughts and prayers.
