Impact Jonathan Hernandez struggled his last three appearances, so manager Bruce Bochy opted for Sborz, who pitched well prior to Wednesday, to hold a 5-3 lead. He walked the leadoff batter before allowing a single and double that knotted the game at 5-5. Brock Burke then surrendered the game-deciding home run to Orlando Arcia in the ninth.
