Faced with the bases loaded, Brooks Lee induced a grounder to shortstop on the first pitch. No outs and no runs scored to end the first inning.

The second inning was all Pedi. Matt Walnawa drew a full-count walk and Manuel Margot struck out swinging on a fly ball to center field and Christian Vazquez struck out swinging again to end the inning.
