For ten innings neither team could build more than a one-run cushion. Andrew Painter went four innings, struck out four, and left with a 2-1 lead. Brady House put a ball 404 feet at 107.3 mph in the 7th — the hardest contact of the game — and that should have been the swing that settled it. Instead the score sat 4-4 after ten, and Caleb Kilian came in for the 11th and faced six hitters. He got one out. Five runs crossed, four earned. Washington left 11 on base and still scored 10, which tells you how many chances there were to end it earlier. Nobody took them until the 11th made it unnecessary.
