Bells and whistles, by Jim
The D-backs didn't add any insurance runs in the ninth, and it very nearly cost them, as Tyler Clippard came in and went walk, walk, three-run homer. Suddenly the tying run was at the plate without Clippard having recorded an out. Given how he and Daniel Hudson have pitched of late, it's probably a good thing we traded Brad Ziegler earler, because our other relievers' trade value has been going south along with the team's overall record. Clippard recovered to strike out the side, though also walked the tying run on base, though since the situation was of his own making, does not get the save.
