The euphoria of clinching their first playoff berth in 14 seasons three days earlier was tempered for the San Diego Padres when right-hander Mike Clevinger was suddenly pulled after only one inning of his start Wednesday. Clevinger was sent for an MRI on his right biceps while the Padres were losing 5-2 to the Los Angeles Angels. Even some of his teammates were confused after Clevinger didn't come out for the second inning. Clevinger breezed through a perfect first inning on 12 pitches, including striking out Mike Trout and David Fletcher. Clevinger said his biceps tightened up after he threw a curveball to Jared Walsh, the second batter, Tingler said.
