Daniel Bard's 26 1/3-inning scoreless streak came to an end on Monday, as he served up a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning. Bard retired only one batter while surrendering three earned runs on two hits and a walk. In the process, he picked up his fifth loss of the season. Despite the hiccup, Bard remains an elite set-up man going forward.
