In the top of the ninth against Ross Ohlendorf, Kang bounced a grounder near the middle of the infield. Shortstop Zack Cozart made a nice effort to get the ball, but his spin and throw was wide of first base and went into a camera well -- ruled a single and an error. Following a sacrifice bunt by Sean Rodriguez, it was Jordy Mercer's bloop RBI single to short right field that provided the go-ahead but unearned run.
Tony Watson earned the victory with a scoreless eighth inning of relief, while Mark Melancon collected his 10th save -- putting two men on, including the go-ahead run with two outs, before Tucker Barnhart struck out to end it.
