The seasons of the league wildcards were on the line in this Round 0 playoff. Whoever won this game would advance to Round 1. In the bottom of the 1st, with 2 runners on, Marcell Ozuna went yard. A 3-run home run, and Topeka was up 3-0. In the 2nd inning, Clayton Kershaw hit a 2 out single and scored on a triple from Jacoby Ellsbury. In the 4th, Adrian Beltre reached first on a catching error by Climbers 1B Kendrys Morales. Beltre advanced to 2nd on a Tyler Chatwood wild pitch, moved to 3rd on a single from Robinson Cano, and scored on a sacrifice fly from Edwin Encarnacion. 5-0 Topeka after 3 innings.
