Relief
- Darren O’Day picked up the final out of the 6th via strikeout.
- Mychal Givens worked two dominant innings, allowing just one baserunner while striking out three.
- Brad Brach struck out the side to end the game.
Hitting
- Manny Machado went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a walk.
- Joey Rickard went 2-for-5 and scored a run.
