The match began with both teams unable to score in the first inning, but it was during the second inning that the Diamondbacks managed to put two runs on the board after hitting three times. However, their lead was short-lived as the Rangers responded in subsequent innings. By leveraging six hits throughout the game against eight by the Diamondbacks, Texas managed to secure four runs.
A pivotal moment came in the fifth inning when Texas capitalized on three hits to score three runs, turning their one-run deficit into a lead they would maintain for the rest of the game.
