''I accomplished http://www.nflvikingsofficial.com/Authentic-Cordarrelle-Patterson-Jersey my dream by getting to the big leagues,'' Garcia said through an interpreter. ''I'm twice as happy now that I hit my home run and was able to help the team win.''

Arodys Vizcaino (2-0) got two outs for the victory.
''Just to continue to battle and then go down again in the 12th - it's fun,'' Pierzynski said. ''It's what this game is all about. Keep fighting. You never know what can happen.''

Johnson, who replaced Alshon Jeffery Bears Jersey Freddie Freeman before the start of the fifth, homered off Hunter Strickland to make it 6-5 in the seventh. Freeman left with a strained right oblique, and the team listed him as day to day.
