Trailing 6-0 in Game 2, Dugas lifted a double to left field that scored Cam Warner from third base, but Dugas was thrown out at third base on the play to end the game in the top of the seventh inning. The Tigers picked up a hit in each of the first three innings but failed to plate any runs. Alexis Garcia finished as the lone Tiger with multiple hits during a 2-for-3 performance.

Tigers reliever Juan Aguilera pitched 3 1/3 innings in Game 2 without surrendering an earned run after he replaced starter Alfredo Silva (Loss, 0-2) in the third inning. The IronBirds scored five runs in the third. J.C. Escarra drove in the first two runs of the inning on a double as he went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Game 2.
