Mike Medori followed with an RBI single to left field scoring Klosinski. Wyshinski would later score on a Trey Rogers double to right field to even the score at 2-2.

That was enough for Fuglesang who pitched a complete game scattering three hits, and allowing only one unearned run. He retired the last 10 batters he faced and allowed one runner to get past second base.
