Alex Hassan, Jorge Padron and Ryan Lavarnway were the only players to record hits for Portland. Hassan came in as the Eastern League's top hitter, batting .436. His sixth inning double gives him hits in 17 of the team's 18 games this season. Portland's best chance to score came in the top of the fourth inning against Zeid.
The righty walked Che-Hsuan Lin, who stole second. Then, Hassan walked to put runners on first and second with nobody out. Zeid got Tim Federowicz to fly out, but Lin was able to advance to third base, putting runners on first and third with only one out. Zeid got out of the jam by getting Lavarnway to pop out and Padron to fly out.
Pimentel was nearly as effective getting out of trouble. In the first inning, he walked leadoff man Freddy Galvis, then hit Michael Spidale. Matt Rizzotti would then advance both runners with a groundout. The next batter, Overbeck, hit a sacrifice fly before Pimentel rebounded to strike out Carlos Rivero, ending the inning. He also got out of a two on, one out jam in the fourth inning with a strikeout and a fly out.
