Bullpen backslides night after no-hit performance

MONTERREY, Mexico -- The Dodgers' bullpen, glorified when a trio of members was vital to Friday night's no-hitter, backslid in Saturday night's 7-4 loss to the Padres in the Mexico Series at Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey.

Josh Fields, brought in to protect a one-run lead, walked Christian Villanueva on four pitches to open the bottom of the sixth inning and, one out later, served up a two-run blast by Raffy Lopez for the seventh bullpen loss of the season, snapping the club's three-game win streak with the first loss of the year to San Diego after four wins.
