In the sixth, he ripped a two-run triple and doubled again in the eighth, falling a single shy of a cycle. Williams led off the first inning with his 10th homer of the season and connected on a two-run shot in the second. Jason Wood finished with a pair of sacrifice flies for Albuquerque, which has won seven of its last eight. Jason Grilli (3-2) allowed three runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings for the win.
