In the top of the 11th, Nick Markakis hit a leadoff single against Tony Cingrani, who worked a scoreless 10th for Cincinnati. Blake Wood took over and allowed Jeff Francoeur’s single that put runners on the corners. Inciarte hit a fly ball to center field and Markakis scored the go-ahead run — just the third inherited runner to cross the plate on Wood this season.
