The River Cats recorded six hits on the night, but left five runners on base to spoil several opportunities. Chase d'Arnaud had one of those hits, a solo home run to put Sacramento on the board in the fourth inning. d'Arnaud was also aggressive on the bases when he stole second base and scored on an RBI single by Orlando Calixte in the seventh inning. Eury Pérez went 2-for-4 with a run in his second game of the season.
Perez provided a defensive spark with two marvelous catches in center field and an outfield assist, throwing out Michael Hermosillo attempting to reach second base on a single.
