Trent Thornton faced seven hitters in two-thirds of an inning and five scored — Trevino homered, Stewart singled in a run, and Stephenson's three-run homer to center was the one that decided it. Chicago finished with thirteen hits and kept scoring after the sixth to pull within two, but the five-run hole was too much ground. Rhett Lowder gave up three in five and got the win, and Cincinnati's five-run sixth was the inning that Chicago's thirteen hits could not answer.
