The away team pushed across four more runs on a seventh-inning grand slam off the bat outfielder Steven Duggar. The lone Aces run came off the bat of Yasmany Tomás who hit his 24^th home run of the season in the bottom of the eighth inning. Matt Koch was quality tonight tossing six innings allowing just one run on three hits to go with two strikeouts. Conner Munez picked up the win throwing six scoreless innings on three hits along with three walks and eight strikeouts.
