Will Harris, who got the final out in the seventh inning, gave up four consecutive singles to start the eighth, and all four runners scored to tie the game. It was lefty Tony Sipp who suffered the loss, though, after allowing a fifth consecutive single in the inning to Eric Hosmer, who scored the go-ahead run to cap the five-run eighth. Hosmer added a two-run homer in the ninth off Josh Fields.
"They put together a couple of good hits, and things just didn't go our way that inning," Sipp said.
