HOW IT HAPPENED

Williams settled in after a rough first frame and pitched into the seventh to earn his second win of the season. Sechopoulos led off the eighth with his sixth homer of the season to reach the 30-RBI mark for the campaign. Jordan Carr entered with runners on the corners and no outs in the eighth and pitched out of the jam with a strikeout and a 5-4-3 double play. He then tossed a perfect ninth to pick up his third save.
