What happened: Gonzalez drove in the run that moved his club in front during Saturday's game. The plate appearance added another run-producing moment in August.

Why it matters: The final result will determine whether the swing stands as the decisive run. It follows his two-run homer that widened a lead to 10-0 on Aug. 13.

By the numbers: Before a July 11 trade, Gonzalez hit .320 with 19 home runs, 63 RBI and a 1.097 OPS in 53 Triple-A games.

What to watch: The remaining innings will decide whether Gonzalez's RBI holds as the winning run.
