Elih Villanueva was touched up for 3 runs in the 1st and another 3 runs in the 3rd, a deficit the Tides offense was unable to muster a response to. The 1st inning damage happened in quick succession as the 2-3-4 hitters hit a double, an RBI single, and a 2-run HR. Villanueva would fail to make it through the 3rd; leaving with 2 more runs already in, a runner on 3rd, and just 1 out.
