Dykxhoorn got the start and started well but ran into trouble in the 6th inning allowing 5 runs. Perez relieved him and also surrended a run in the 6th as Fresno found themselves down 6-0. They tried to rally in the 8th scoring 3 runs on a Mayfield bases loaded walk and Tanielu 2 run double. That is all they would get as they dropped this one 6-3. They did set the modern-era PCL record for team strikeouts though.
