The Tides came to bat in the bottom of the first with a two-run deficit, but that was erased quickly. They put a crooked six spot on the board, courtesy of a two-run single by Kelvin Gutierrez, a bases-loaded walk to Rylan Bannon, and a three-run double by J.C. Escarra. Jahmai Jones added an inside-the-park two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth on a fly ball to center field.
Norfolk starter Mike Baumann gave up two runs in the first — on an RBI double and an RBI single — but that was the only damage he allowed all night.
