John Doxakis (1-3) couldn’t hold the lead in the top of the 11th inning, as he walked a man and then hit consecutive batters to force home the automatic runner Akil Baddoo with what proved to be the winning run.

José Tena, Raynel Delgado, and Jonathan Rodriguez all had multiple hits for the Clippers.
