Starting pitcher Quinn Mathews made his first appearance since being activated from the injured list in the win. The left-handed pitcher allowed two runs on two hits, walked three and struck out three in 2.2 innings pitched. Right-handed reliever Andre Granillo added 2.0 innings of scoreless baseball with three strikeouts to lower his ERA to a team-best 1.35 on the season.

Shortstop Cesar Prieto had a strong night, with two home runs and drove in five. The left-handed hitter went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, three runs scored and a walk. Third baseman Thomas Saggese made four hits and tallied two RBIs in the win.
