Gordon pitched a perfect first inning, which included striking out the first two batters he faced, Adam Frazier and Bobby Witt Jr. However, Gordon gave up three straight hits to behind the second inning, the third being an RBI-single to Freddy Fermín. Two at bats later, Maikel García hit a three-run home run, giving the Royals a 4–0 advantage, with all four runs being scored in the second inning. Gordon gave up a solo home run to MJ Melendez in the 7th inning and was ultimately pulled after pitching 6+1⁄3 innings; he allowed 5 earned runs and 8 hits while striking out 4 batters and allowing no walks.
