The Grays how trail - in the best-of- series.

bin Nadhir was in the zone all game. He frustrated Phoenix hitters while giving the Grays 9 innings of quality work. bin Nadhir threw 118 pitches, allowing 5 hits and getting 8 punchouts.

bin Nadhir told a Washington Bulletin reporter that he was "pleased as punch" with the win.
