Taj Bradley gave up four runs with seven strikeouts over five innings in a no-decision. Travis Adams gave up four runs over one inning out of the bullpen and was tagged with the loss. Genesis Cabrera allowed one run over an inning of work. Michael Tonkin threw a scoreless inning. Noah David surrendered two runs (one earned) over an inning out of the bullpen.
Mickey Gasper paced the Minnesota offense driving in three runs. Kody Clemens and Mall Wallner each hit a solo home run. Luke Keaschall, Trevor Larnach, and Ryan Fitzgerald each picked up an RBI.
