The other run came in the seventh after James McCann led off with a double and Ryan McKenna followed with a single. McCann scored from third on Ryan O'Hearn's pinch-hit, fielder's-choice grounder

Bradish worked 4 2/3 innings, giving up three hits and five walks while striking out five. This marked the first time in an eight-start span that he didn't work at least six innings
