Zach Hull was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over six innings pitched.

Hull wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Max Miller, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
