Cooper Williams<\/a> reached on an error with two outs before Charlie Jones<\/a> ripped an RBI double into the right-center field gap. After Jackson Chirello<\/a> was intentionally\u00a0walked\u00a0to put the potential go-ahead run aboard, Aaron Posey<\/a> lined a game-tying RBI single into right field to score pinch-runner Jamarie Brooks<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ryan Gold<\/a> made his first start of the season and turned in a strong outing, tossing 4.0 scoreless innings while allowing just one hit and one walk with two strikeouts. Ty Bayer<\/a> followed with 2.0 innings of one-run ball before Daniel Powell<\/a> (L, 6-3) escaped a\u00a0bases-loaded jam in the seventh after entering with two outs.\u00a0<\/p>\n How it\u00a0Happened\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
