He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Hendry was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. D'Hanis is 6-1 when Hendry posts two or more runs, but 2-5 otherwise.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kase Braden, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. He also hit a double, marking his first of the season. Joe Ruiz was another key player, scoring two runs while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.
