Mexico City came through with the game-winning runs in the bottom of the 9th inning scoring 4 runners on 3 hits. The big moment was provided by Riley who made the crowd come alive when he launched a rocket-shot out of the park for a Grand Slam homerun. Overall Mexico City out-hit Chicago 10 to 3.

The victory was credited to Aroldis Chapman(1-0) who went 1 inning, allowing no runs. Bryse Wilson(0-1) was given the loss in relief.
