The team's batting average stood at .368 for this game, showcasing their ability to connect with pitches effectively.

On the pitching side, San Diego's bullpen delivered an outstanding performance, maintaining a combined ERA of 0.0 across nine innings pitched. This effort was complemented by striking out twelve batters and keeping walks to just two, demonstrating both control and power from the mound.
