Jimmie López had a big 2-run triple for the Red Birds in the bottom of the second inning. With Columbus trailing 2-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from Rich Vázquez, who is tied for 6th in the TTWB in wins with 3, and swatted a triple to left. It was his 3rd triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Red Birds ahead, 3-2.
