After Tim Beckham singled and stole second, Henry Wrigley knocked in a pair with a single to put the Biscuits back in front at 4-3. Matt Sweeney would deliver a two-run single later in the inning to push the lead to 6-3 and snap a Biscuits record 0-30 stretch.

The Biscuits had jumped out to a 2-0 lead early with Kyeong Kang's fourth homer in his last 15 at-bats starting the scoring in the second.

Marquis Fleming (4-2) gave up only a Josh Vitters solo homer in his 2.2 worked to get the win. Alex Colome took a no-decision, allowing three runs on seven hits over 5.1. Tennessee starter Austin Bibens-Dirkx (1-2) was tagged for six runs on six hits and a walk over his 5.1 in the loss.
