Batista came through with some timely hitting for Charlotte. With the score 2-1 in the top of the fifth and no one down, Batista hit a 1-1 changeup for a 2-run home run. His 10th home run of the season made it 3-2, Charlotte.

"Enjoyed this one," Batista told the Charlotte Daily News. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
