Silverberg started game 1 and found it tough to consistently hit the strike zone. A couple calls did not go his way and the Dodgers hitters pounced on a few of his pitches. Silverberg also had minimal support as the Bengals only scored 3 runs off Dodgers starter Sam Grabowski, who pitched a complete game and limited the Bengals to only 5 hits.
Final Score: Dodgers 10 - Bengals 3
