Andre Ethier is making a habit of this, isn't he?!
Trailing most of the game, Ethier doubled in the ninth inning with two outs and scored on Matt Kemp's base hit to tie the game. After the Pirates took the lead in the top of the 13th, Ethier came up with one on and two out, and slugged a first pitch fastball from Phil Dumatrait into the right field pavilion for his 30th home run of the season.
The home run was his fourth in walk-off style of the season, most in the majors. He also has six total walk-off hits this season, also tops in baseball.
Randy Wolf was solid for seven innings in his first start in 10 days after suffer some inflammation in his left elbow.
And with that, the division lead is back up to five games over the Rockies, who continue to crumble in San Francisco. The Cards also lost, so the Dodgers are ahead of them by two games for best record in the N.L.
Series finale tomorrow... Hiroki Kuroda takes the hill against Kevin Hart.
