In the bottom of the fifth, Los Angeles third baseman Jordan Aubert had a productive at-bat. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and one out, Aubert stroked a 2-run single to left. It made the score 4-2, Los Angeles. For the game, he went 1 for 3 with a walk, while adding 2 RBI.

"We had a good game plan," Messenger said, "and we were able to execute it."
