Ronnie Bourquin drove in the first run of the inning on a single to center. Cameron Maybin connected on his third home run of the series with a three-run blast to right.

The Miracle got on the board in the sixth as Dwayne White pushed his hitting streak to three-straight games with a RBI double, followed by a Whit Robbins run-scoring single.
