_{In the first game, Cal Stevenson led off the contest with a home run to give the River Cats the early lead, but the Dodgers countered with two runs in the bottom of the first. Sacramento tied it in the second on a Shane Matheny sacrifice fly, but the Dodgers would take advantage of four straight two-out walks in the bottom of the third to take the lead for good. Daniel Tillo (0-2), who retired the first two batters in the third, proceeded to walk four straight hitters before he was lifted for Chris Wright, who surrendered a three-run double to Devin Mann that gave Oklahoma City a 6-2 advantage.}
