In 7.1 innings, Rodgers allowed a run, which was actually an inherited runner charged to him, on 4 hits, walked 1, and struck out 6. Kevin Chapman got one out in the 8th via strikeout and allowed 2 hits, and James Hoyt worked around 2 hits to record a 4-out save, striking out 1.

A 4-run outburst in the 3rd inning gave Corpus Christi the lead.

Danry also advanced to 3rd on a wild pitch and scored on a Teoscar Hernandez double. Following Teoscar's double, Alex Bregman drew a walk, but he was caught stealing 2nd. While Frisco was preoccupied with Bregman, Teoscar seized the opportunity and scampered home to score another run. D.J. Fisher followed by clubbing a solo home run to put the Hooks up 4-1.
Peña launched a solo home run in the 4th, his 4th home run of the season. Bregman tripled with 1 out in the 7th inning and scored on an RBI single from Nick Tanielu. Conrad Gregor smacked a solo home run in the 8th. Teoscar drew a 1-out walk in the top of the 9th, but any hope of a rally was snuffed out when Bregman grounded into the game-ending double play.
