Carlos Rincon smacked his third homer, a game-tying blast to cap off a four-run fifth inning. Jake Mangum smoked a run-scoring single and belted his second long ball, which broke the 8-8 tie in the seventh.
Connor Grey surrendered six runs on six hits over 2 2/3 innings. Eric Orze allowed a pair of runs in relief, while the rest of the bullpen combined for five shutout frames.
