During the game between San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies an usual sight caught attention on Friday. The former teammates, Joe Musgrove and Chal Kuhl who used to play together for Pittsburgh were seen playing tic-tac-toe during the game.
Musgrove created the board on the mound, taking the first first move by placing X, while Kuhl came in and responded by putting a 0. They did take their respective chances turn by turn with the game ending in a tie.

I guess this is what they mean by "The Game within the Game."

Talking about their match, Rockies fell against Padres. Having played 33 games in a row, Rockies haven’t won any consecutive games. The two sides will now play a doubleheader today with Ryan Feltner starting for Colorado and Mike Clevinger taking the ball for the San Diego Padres.
