They just had a lot of bad luck. In the 7th, with runners on 1st and 3rd and 2 out, Raul laced a would-be double directly at the Left Fielder. In the 8th, with runners on 1st and 3rd and 1 out, Justin Smoak shot a laser beam up the middle, right at a shifted shortstop that easily doubled up Ackley. The guys came through where they needed to (admittedly too late to get Felix a win), this game wasn't lost to bad umpiring, or choking against superior competition, they lost because when they hit the ball hard in the right moment, they hit it at people.
