Phillies Throw One Away Against Mets

Now the Philadelphia Phillies can’t even make a routine throw to the mound after a pitch--and it cost them big Monday in a 10-7 loss to the New York Mets at Philadelphia .

First, the Phillies couldn’t hold a two-run lead in the ninth inning. Then came two bizarre errors hat led to their downfall.

After Jose Mesa (1-3) blew a save for the first time since May 28, catcher Todd Pratt’s throw to the mound bounced off reliever Jose Santiago’s glove. Shortstop Jimmy Rollins picked up the ball and threw to third in an attempt to stop Todd Zeile from advancing, but the throw went wide and Zeile scored for an 8-7 lead.

“I thought I saw everything in baseball, but that play put the icing on the cake,” Phillie Manager Larry Bowa said. “It was by far our worst game of the year.”

Atlanta 5, Montreal 0--Tom Glavine (13-7) gave up seven hits at Montreal for his 21st career shutout and 50th complete game.

Chicago 10, Florida 2--Michael Tucker drove in three runs and Rondell White knocked in two at Miami.

Cincinnati 3, Houston 2--Calvin Pickering’s pinch-hit, run-scoring single in the eighth inning at Cincinnati ended Octavio Dotel’s nearly two-month streak of scoreless innings

Colorado 4, San Francisco 1--Barry Bonds hit his 58th home run, against rookie Jason Jennings (3-0), who pitched seven innings of three-hit ball at San Francisco.

Milwaukee 12-2, Pittsburgh 7-3--Craig Wilson hit a pinch-hit home run with two out in the ninth, giving the Pirates a doubleheader split at Pittsburgh. In the first game, Tyler Houston’s two-run single keyed a five-run first inning for the Brewers.
