Nathan Foriest in the seventh inning. Evan Miller took over and pitched 2.1 scoreless innings to close out the game for the team. Miller earned the first save of his professional career.

Catcher Kyle Overstreet delivered for the Dust Devils at the plate. Overstreet finished the night with two hits, one walk, and scored two of the team's four runs. Boomer White also ended the game with two hits for Tri-City.

Left-hander Eric Lauer will start the second game of the five-game series on Friday night. Boise will counter with Javier Medina.
