Sometimes you just get curbstomped.
In fact, the Clippers were shut out with only two hits all game until the top of the ninth. Two singles and three walks (two of them run-scoring) later, the Clippers returned to their previous mode of offense and recorded three straight outs with the bases loaded.
In the Clipper’s defense, the wheels didn’t come off until the seventh inning. Ye Olde Mitch Talbot tossed six innings of three run ball, with two of his earned runs coming home after Neil Ramirez inherited runners.
