After Manny tied the game with a 3 run homer in the 6th the game stayed even until the bottom of the 9th. Timlin came in to replace Okajima and gave up a lead-off infield single to Balentien. He was successfully bunted over to second. Reed grounded out for the second out and Balentien advanced to third. Ichiro was intentionally walked and was allowed to take second. Lopez came up and in a 1-2 count, hit a line drive past the diving glove of Lowell to send in the winning run.
