The game was tied 1-1 through eight innings, and Paul Sewald walked two of the first three men he faced in the ninth. Andrew Benintendi was the fourth — his second home run of the year, on a 91.5 mph fastball to right-center, and it drove in three. Davis Martin had given Chicago six and a third innings of one-run ball, striking out seven on 97 pitches, and Grant Taylor followed with five outs before Seranthony Domínguez handled the ninth. Arizona collected eight hits and stranded six. Adrian Del Castillo's first-inning double, scoring Ketel Marte, was the only run they produced. Michael Soroka struck out six in five innings and did not factor in the decision.
