- A trio of relievers — Peyton Gray, Robby Ahlstrom, and Jakob Junis — threw three scoreless innings to preserve the lead with Junis finishing the game.
- The series featured late action the night before when Mason Miller pitched in the tenth inning, a development that influenced bullpen usage for both teams.
