The score was tied at 1 with the bases loaded, when Desmond came to the plate to face right-hander David Aardsma. It didn't take long for Desmond to make his point.
On the first pitch, Desmond drove in his 19th run of the season by hitting a sacrifice fly to left fielder Eury Perez, scoring Bryce Harper, who started the rally with a double.
Prior to the at-bat, Desmond was 10-for-72 (.139) with a home run and three RBIs during the month of June, a month in which manager Matt Williams sat him down twice.
