Gotta wonder, event though we won, why someone wasn't pinch running for werth like difo or Espinosa who could have gone into left. I was surprised to see lobaton bat as well
Ramos had already pinch hit in the 9th and I don't think you want to go to your callup catcher to catch a potential 11th inning (Severino?). Lobaton is a pro and got the job done.  And Werth is a good base runner and has been hitting great lately so you want his bat in the game in case the game extends.  Or do you really want Espinosa or (gasp!) Tyler Moore in a high leverage at bat?  Moore is no speed demon and Espinosa while maybe faster than Werth, is no Billy Hamilton.
