If Trevor Hoffman has some of the most saves in history how did he blow the 2006 All Star Game?

Hoffman entered the game in the top of the 9th inning with the National League ahead 2-1. After getting the first two batters on groundouts, he gave up a single, double, and triple that scored two runs to make the score 3-2 in favor of the American League. The NL did not score in the bottom of the 9th and Hoffman was charged with a blown save and loss.
