- Royce Lewis hit a 421-foot homer in the fifth, his 13th of the season, and extended his career-best hitting streak to 11 games.
- Starter Bailey Ober worked six innings, allowed three runs and six hits, and finished without recording a walk or a strikeout.
- Yoendrys Gómez struck out two in the ninth, picked off the pinch-runner at first and recorded his 15th save to seal the victory.
