  tpstar: Fritz 7 Deep Position Analysis [20MB]:

18 ... Ba6 19. Rfe1 Qc7 20. Qxd5+ Kg7 21. Nd7 Rf7 [3.59/11]

Sidelines:
a) 18 ... Ba6 19. Rfe1 Kg7 20. Nd7 Rf7 21. Qc3+ d4 [4.56/13]

b) 18 ... Ba6 19. Qxd5+ Kg7 20. Rfe1 fg 21. hg Qc7 [3.59/12]

c) 18 ... Ba6 19. Rfd1 fg 20. Qxd5+ Kh8 21. fg Qc7 [2.78/12]

So there is no direct win. Fritz is probably giving White 1.0 for the extra Pawn, 0.5-1.0 for more space, and 0.5-1.0 for the cramping effect of the Pc6. From the diagram, note White should pick up another Pawn plus the exchange soon with 22. Bxf5 fg 23. hg & 24. Be6.

Mar-07-11  Clodhopper: 18 ... Ba6 19. Qxd5+ Kg2 20 Nd7 Bxf1 21 Bxf5 Rf7 22 Qe5+ Bf6 23 Nxf6 Qa6 (the queen falls to double discovered check on any square except a6 and h8) 24 c7 wins
Jun-16-15  Delboy: Black gets pinned six times in this short game.
