RF Carlos Gonzalez was dropped to sixth in the lineup and responded with a season-high three RBIs while going 2-for-4 for his first two-hit game since April 28 at Arizona.

"With a left-handed pitcher, I think it makes a little bit of sense tonight," manager Bud Black said before the game. "The way Mark's swinging and Ian, both right-handed bat, it might just take a little bit of pressure off CarGo. Probably not -- he's CarGo. But mentally, it might be good for him. We'll see."
