The third inning brought the first breakthrough of the game.

This gave us the lead with a score of 1-0, setting the pace for the rest of the game.Defensive Brilliance

Arraez struck again with another single, sending Higashioka home. A few batters later, Manny Machado sealed the deal with a right-field single that brought in Arraez.Closing It Out 
In the ninth inning, Suarez was brought in to close the game. Despite Colt Keith's single, Spencer Torkelson quickly grounded into a double play.
