What happened: Lowe's 31st home run tied the game. The drive came on the first pitch and pulled the score to 3-3.
Why it matters: The swing erased an in-game deficit and pushed Lowe to 31 homers on the year. It also extended a late-season run for Brandon Lowe, who had already reached No. 29 on Sept. 2 and delivered a ninth-inning go-ahead hit on June 17.
By the numbers: No. 31 came two weeks after No. 29 on Sept. 2. Lowe also delivered a ninth-inning go-ahead hit on June 17.
What to watch: The next pivot is whether the tie holds and whether Lowe gets another key plate appearance later in the game. If the offense keeps rolling, this swing could be the turning point.
