In the bottom of the fourth inning Austin walked and came home to score on a homerun by Aledmys Diaz. Tyler Wade also walked in the inning but was picked off when he attempted to steal second.
Dustin Fowler earned his first hit of the night when hit beat out a bunt back to the pitcher, he moved to second after Nate Orf was hit by a pitch.

Sanchez’s second hit came in the bottom of the sixth inning when with 2-outs and a man on first he sent a fly ball over the left field fence for his third homerun of the AFL season.
