Relievers Alex Demchak and Victor Garcia followed with four more scoreless frames and one hit allowed. The Tigers recorded no extra-base hits as Alexis Garcia, Jordan Verdon, and Gresuan Silverio tallied one single each.

Tigers reliever Felix Viloria tossed three scoreless innings with one hit, three walks, and two strikeouts. Following the loss, Connecticut was officially eliminated from Stedler Division title contention and finished the 2018 home schedule with a 19-18 record.
