After a lineout, Zak Blair reached base on an error to drive in Koepf with the go-ahead run. Mike Grieco followed with a two-run single to right field to score Alvis and Neuschaefer.

Dan Poskocil relieved Hughes in the seventh inning and faced six batters over two innings and retired all six in order. Cameron Palmer followed in the ninth and also had a 1-2-3 inning for his first save of the year.
