Onix Vega singled to open the third inning before Jordy Barley grounded into a fielder's choice and was later thrown out attempting to steal second by Abrahan Gutierrez. Chandler then sat down 11 in a row before Andrew Pinckney singled with one out in the seventh inning. Brady House then grounded into a double play to end the inning. Chandler retired the first two batters in the eighth inning before leaving the game having thrown 97 pitches, with 64 strikes.
