Catcher Chris Okey followed that up with a double and later scored on a Jordan Johnson sacrifice bunt. The team proceded to load the bases and Ibandel Isabel smacked a single to plate two runs. For the second time in the inning, Mitch Nay stepped up to the plate and delivered a bases clearing double to make it 7-3.
Starter Jordan Johnson went four winnings and Victor Payano picked up the win. Ty Boyles came on in the seventh and threw two hitless innings to secure the hold. Closer Alex Powers then struck out the side to earn his sixth save of the season. Powers is now tied for first in the league in saves at six.
