Baldwin matched Peralta pitch-for-pitch as he went 3.1 scoreless innings and allowed only one hit and one walk while striking out two batters in relief.

All of the runs in the game came in the bottom half of the second inning, as Marvin Lowrance scored on a bases-loaded single to right by Leonard Davis. Patrick Nichols then followed Davis with a long Grand Slam home run to right field to give the Suns a 5-0 lead.
