What happened: Two run-scoring singles erased a 7-5 deficit before Christian Walker batted. His drive to left brought home three runs and ended the game.
Why it matters: The victory lifted his club to 63-60, three games above .500. The finish marked a sharp reversal from Walker’s July exit with an injury.
By the numbers: Walker drove in three of the five runs scored in the decisive inning. The homer was his 23rd of the season.
What to watch: The clubs return Saturday for the second game of the series.
