Diego Canuelas put the Royals on the board in the bottom of the 1st inning with an RBI groundout to go ahead 1-0. In the second inning, Adrian Vivo launched a ball to deep left field to score 2 more and take a 3-2 lead, answering Champion's 2 runs in the top half. The Royals added 2 more in the bottom of the fifth on an error to bring the score to 5-2 and, after a 2-out solo home run in the top of the 9th, Soto closed it out by retiring 9 of the 10 batters he faced.
