The opener for the champions of the old circuit in 1984 and 1998 was colossal, to the extent that they only had one hit in seven innings of work. He struck out five and wrote just one walk.
The defense of the winners was perfect, while the offense was hitting little by little until Juan Soto put the clash one-sided with his two-run hit in the eighth inning. Nothing less than once morest the local star reliever Edwin Díaz.
Prior to that point, San Diego had scored twice in the second inning and added in the fourth and fifth innings. Austin Nola opened the board with an undisputed one that served to drive in a couple of runs in the same action (Josh Bell and Ha-Seong Kim).
