<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <!--quotec-->Trevor Hoffman was rocked for five runs and two homers in the ninth inning of Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Pirates.
Staked to a 3-2 lead in the ninth, it didn't take long for Hoffman to melt down. <b>A leadoff homer by Ronny Cedeno tied the game.</b> Hoffman got an out, but allowed two hits before an intentional walk loaded the bases for Ryan Doumit, who smacked a grand slam to right field. Hoffman has now blown three saves and is now 1-2 with an ugly 13.50 ERA and 2.00 WHIP. He's allowed five homers in eight innings. Yeah, it's just April. But one wonders how much longer Milwaukee will put up with his ineffectiveness in the ninth inning.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

And yet he's still unhittable every time we face him.
