The only game Arizona ever led during the series was their one win, and that was only for two innings.

Cleveland took an early 2-0 lead in the opener in their home park. Jay Bruce opened the second with a triple off Zach Greinke. Jason Kipnis followed with a double and eventually scored on Bradley Zimmer's fly ball. J.D.Martinez homered in the sixth off Corey Kluber, and the Snakes tied it in the seventh on A.J. Pollock's single. But in the bottom of the seventh, David Peralta turned a Jose Ramirez fly ball into a double and error, allowing Francisco Lindor to score from first base with two outs. Cleveland's late-inning bullpen duo of Andrew Miller and Cody Allen closed the door from there.

Arizona evened the series with an extra inning win in Game Two, scoring a run in the ninth off Allen to tie it and two more in the 10th for the lead. Miller had allowed a pair of inherited runners to score in the seventh.

The series shifted to Arizona for Game Three. Cleveland scored one in the first off Patrick Corbin and three more in the third, with Bruce hitting a two-run homer. The Tribe got 3.1 scoreless innings from relievers Breslow, Dan Otero, Miller and Allen to secure the win.

Mike Clevenger, making his first start of the tournament, allowed one hit in five innings of Game 4. Zimmer hit a two-run homer off Taijan Walker in a four-run fourth, and Clevenger left for a pinch-hitter as Cleveland scored three more runs in the sixth to blow it open.

Kluber was stellar in Game 5, allowing five hits in the complete game shutout while striking out 13. Bruce hit a two-run homer off Greinke in the first and a three-run bomb in the third, while Ramirez doubled and scored in each of his first two at-bats. Arizona had just two runners reach scoring position in the game.
