He has now successfully converted 17 of 21 save opportunities.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Randy Barnes? The San Diego left fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Captains on top, 2-0. For the game, Barnes had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Jordan told the San Diego Daily.
