Joc's walk makes it nine
Joc Pederson tied the game in the 8th with a homer and then walked with the bases loaded in the 9th to drive home the winner. Jacque le Bop hit his eighth big fly and Jacque le Walk notched his twenty-second. That's in 150 PA. Kap had him in the leadoff spot and he also struck out (for the thirty-third time) to complete the TTO trifecta (BB, SO, HR) in his five trips to the plate. It's good to have our DH back--his .266/.387/.508 slash line is miles above his lifetime marks (.238/.337/.471). He's hitting better than he ever has in his career.
