Blaeholder(8-16) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 3 runs. Les Tietje(5-11) was the loser. He got hit hard, allowing 9 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings.

He laced a base-hit which scored a run in the 1st inning, slapped a single in the 3rd inning, laced a base-knock plating a run in the 4th inning and blasted a two-run home run (his 20th of the season) in the 7th inning.
