Although the Tides had 14 hits in the game, more than the nine they allowed to the Clippers, they could not buy a clutch hit, going 0-10 with runners in scoring position in the game. It takes some work to fail that thoroughly. Kind of impressive they managed to score five runs in that case. Robert Andino went 4-4 in the game, but that just wasn’t enough to get anything going.
Steve Johnson started the game for the Tides and gave up four runs in 2.1 innings. Edwin Jackson, who will be next up in the “beat writers talk about him way too much before he opts out” category now that Michael Bourn is gone, gave up two runs in 2.
