Troop faced 29 batters in 6.2 innings allowing six hits and walking three. The only runs came in the fourth inning on a two-out two-run double. Troop left the game with two on and two out in the seventh, turning the game over to Reid Schaller. Schaller ended the frame with a fly ball out then pitched a scoreless eighth.
