The win was credited to Alex Faedo(3-1) who went 1 and 2/3 innings allowing no runs. Faedo was helped out by Trevor Megill who recorded his 16th save. Jhoan Duran(0-4) was the losing pitcher in relief. He allowed 5 hits and no walks in 1 inning.
'I pin this one on my own shoulders,' Duran said. 'The bottom line is I didn't get the job done. Our fans deserve better than this.'
