The Bats fell behind 5-1 to the Clippers and while they made it a one run game, that’s as close as they’d get.  Aaron Herr hit a two run homer and Joey Votto hit a solo shot in the loss.  Votto was also the only Bat with three hits in the game.

Phil Dumatrait had an unusually bad loss.  He gave up five runs on nine hits and a walk with six strikeouts in six innings of work. It’s the second time in three starts that Dumatrait has given up five runs or more and hopefully he’s not falling off a cliff.  Of course in the other start, he threw six shutout innings so hopefully the real (and better) Dumatrait will establish himself in his next start.
