Game 1; Kazmir vs Gray; Bees get a 1-out double by Travis. With 2 outs, Braun singles in the first run in the 1st inning. The Plague get a leadoff HR by Brantley in the 2nd. Bees get a leadoff double by Hosmer in the 6th. With Hosmer going to 3rd on a wild pitch with the infield in, Braun hits a grounder that goes to Fielding 3, so the run scores and the batter is safe. With 2 outs, Beltre hits a 2-run HR. The Plague would get runners thrown out at the plate twice and one caught stealing as Bees win 4-1.

Game 2; Fernandez vs Arrieta; scoreless until the top of the 5th when Brantley leads off with a walk. With 2 outs, Kiermaier triples him in. The Plague get another run in the 7th. With 1 out, they get back-to-back doubles. Both pitchers pitch complete games and The Plague win 2-0.

Game 3; Ramirez vs Bumgarner; Bumgarner goes 6.2 innings of 1 hit ball and gets pulled with a runner on second, but the Bees bullpen holds The Plague thru 9 innings. In the bottom of the 9th, Lind leads off with a single (his only hit in series). Braun runs for him and steals second. With 2 outs, Beltre hits a single that scores Braun from second for a 1-0 Bees win.

Bees record at 24-18.

Bees hit under .200 for series with no HR.
