Accetta (2-0) won his second straight start after allowing just an unearned run on two hits, striking out three, walking three and hitting a batter. Accetta also extended his consecutive scoreless inning streak to 9 1/3 innings before giving up his first run (unearned) of the season with one out in the fifth.

Jake Hand extended his season-high on-base streak to nine with a single in the fourth while Blake Alexander extended his on-base streak to eight with a five-pitch walk in the second.
