The Hens jumped out to an early lead and the pitching staff did the rest to take the series four games to two. Willi Castro, playing shortstop and leading off, opened the game with a solo shot to right field. Renato Nuñez followed him with a triple and scored on a Yariel Gonzalez groundout. Mark Leiter Jr. took things from there, going five scoreless innings on just two hits and a walk, with six strikeouts. Bryan Garcia took the sixth, while Locke St. John and Miguel Del Pozo wrapped up the final three frames without allowing a run. They got a bit of support when Gonzalez singled to open the bottom of the sixth and rode home on an Aderlin Rodriguez double.
