Christian Encarnacion-Strand was 1 for 4 for Denver. The 25-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the fourth. With one out and runners on 1st and 2nd, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring single off Lance McCullers Jr.. It was his 53rd hit of the season.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Encarnacion-Strand.
