Eric Farris then doubled to right, scoring Ortiz to cut the lead to 2-1. Herrmann, who moved to third on the double, scored the tying run on a sac fly to right by Doug Bernier. Argenis Diaz then broke the 2-2 tie by lining a single to center, scoring Farris for a 3-2 Rochester lead.

The Red Wings tacked on another run off Jenkins in the bottom of the sixth when James Beresford singled to left, moved to second on an error by shortstop Daniel Castro and scored on a two-out single to right by Herrmann for a 4-2 lead they would not relinquish.
