Once again, the Halos got off to a fast start in the first inning. David Fletcher led off the game with a single and Ohtani moved him over with a single of his own. After a Jo Adell flyout, Jared Walsh continued his hot-hitting and drove in Fletcher with an RBI double. Luis Rengifo made the score 2-0 with an RBI groundout.
Rengifo struck again for the what would become the winning runs with a two-run home run in the third inning. The homer was his fourth of the season.
