Collier struck out and Aiden Miller was hit by a pitch, forcing in another run.

Baldwin, a catcher serving as the designated hitter and batting ninth, made it 4-0 with a sacrifice fly on the first pitch from Houston right-hander A.J. Blubaugh

Collier, the game’s MVP, led off the third inning with a 409-foot homer into the bullpen in right-center field for the game’s first run. It came off loser Caden Dana, a Los Angeles Angels right-hander.

Baldwin’s sixth-inning drive went 411 feet into the left-center bullpen.
