Christian Yelich and Joey Ortiz had home runs, and Antonio Sanzatella claimed the victory in relief.

Yeah, you know, they're a really good team.
They got a great offense.

And you know, the guys kept having really good at bats.
We were able to kind of stretch the lead out a little bit and big win for us.
