- Brent Rooker’s fourth-inning solo homer snapped Clarke Schmidt’s 28⅓-inning scoreless streak
- Nick Kurtz crushed a three-run homer in the sixth inning, giving Oakland a four-run cushion as Schmidt surrendered four earned runs over six innings
- Former Yankee JP Sears delivered 5⅔ shutout innings, allowing two hits and striking out four to earn the win
- Austin Wells and Allan Winans failed to field a popped-up bunt in the eighth inning, and Cody Bellinger’s errant throw allowed two insurance runs
