With a 7-3 loss to the Clippers last night, the Pigs dropped three straight games to lose the series in Columbus, 3-1, and finish 4-4 on the eight-game, West Division road trip.

The Red Wings -- Minnesota's top affiliate -- defeated Charlotte 4-2 last night to take the four-game series, 3-1, and finish 4-4 on a South Division homestand. Although they've gone just 7-8 in their last 15 games, the Red Wings have gone 16-11 since starting 20-30 through May 28.
