Lane Thomas saw one pitch in the first inning, a 95.7 mph fastball, and hit it 409 feet with the bases loaded. Lyon Richardson threw 30 pitches in that inning and did not come back for the second. Jac Caglianone's two-run homer in the fifth — 108.1 mph, 419 feet — was the blow that ended whatever remained of the competitive portion. Luinder Avila walked four in five innings, gave up two hits, and won, which tells you what the score was doing while he worked.
