Francisco Fajardo, Kyle Mave,s and Champ Garner each had two hits and two runs scored. Eduardo De Oleo had a three-run home run in the six-run fourth inning rally. That was his 10th big fly of the season. Tucker Zdunich hit a three-run home run of his own in the fifth inning. That was his third four-bagger of the 2025 season. Byron Reichstein added a two-RBI double to round out the 13-hit London attack.
