Andrew Benintendi started the winning rally when he belted a one-out single to left. Xander Bogaerts capped a 4-for-4 night with a single to center. That set up Moreland, who got enough of a 2-1 offering from Hector Rondon to dump it in front of left fielder Marwin Gonzalez, as pinch-runner Tzu-Wei Lin raced in to end it.
