The Clippers offense remained silent until the ninth inning, where they managed to scrape across two runs while trailing 3-0, with their comeback bid coming up just short.
Erik Kratz and Michael Martinez both had multi-hit games in the defeat.
Starting pitcher Shawn Morimando had a shutout going into the seventh inning, but he gave up two runs in the seventh and Louis Head allowed a third inherited run to score.
All in all, Morimando’s final line was 6.2 innings pitched, five hits, three earned runs, four walks and five strikeouts.
