What happened: Griffin Conine came off the bench in the eighth and turned a 6-6 game into an 8-6 lead. The pinch-hit blast drove in two runs with one out.

Why it matters: The swing followed Conine's first career walk-off two days earlier. Miami entered Wednesday at 54-54, two games out of the final NL wild-card spot.

By the numbers: Conine reached nine homers and 20 RBIs for the season. He homered twice and drove in four runs across the three-game series.

What to watch: The bullpen must protect the two-run lead in the ninth.
