"What a way to do it. That is probably the definition of a vulture win."
(Tyler Clippard, via Nationals.com, 7/13/2011)

NL 5, AL 1: To the Vulture goes the spoils. 3 pitches, 1 hit, 0 outs, and a Curly W for Tyler Clippard, with an assist from Hunter Pence's arm.

Like Matt Capps before him, Tyler Clippard picks up the Win for the NL. So will Rizzo deal Clippard before the trade deadline, just like Capps?
