Seattle would take their 2-0 lead into the top of the 7th, when Freddie Freeman gets started by hitting a solo HR off of Chen. Seattle holding onto a 2-1 lead in the 9th, calls on Jonathan Broxton to close things out, as Freeman strikes again with another solo shot, tying it up 2-2. Seattle would walk Alfonso Soriano, and would pay the price allowing another long ball, this time by veteran Eric Chavez.
