Mohr Is Less for Giants in 11-9 Loss to Mets

Dustan Mohr sat in front of his locker with his head buried in his hands. Even in a new ballpark, right field in San Francisco remains treacherous territory.

Mohr allowed two runs to score when he dropped a fly ball with two out in the 12th inning, and the New York Mets overcame a shaky return by Tom Glavine and a team-record six double plays to beat the Giants, 11-9, Saturday.

“This is a big letdown for me personally and for the team, when it looks like we’re out of the inning and I miss the ball,” Mohr said.

The game featured a major league-record 10 double plays, plus 16 walks and three errors. But the biggest mistake was made by Mohr.

“It hit me right in the palm of the glove,” he said. “This has never happened before. I just missed it. I thought I had it and just misjudged it. There’s no reason for it, I just flat missed it.”

Just when it looked as if Giant reliever Kevin Correia (0-1) was going to pitch his way out of a bases-loaded, none-out jam with help from a double play by first baseman Pedro Feliz and catcher Yorvit Torrealba, Mohr’s gaffe gave New York the win.

“This is the biggest baseball battle that I’ve been in,” said Met rookie third baseman David Wright, who had a career-high four hits. “It’s amazing when we have [17] hits, they have 15 hits and you win a game on a dropped fly ball.”

The Giants used to play at Candlestick Park, where right field was very difficult for outfielders -- but more because of the unpredictable winds.

Mike Stanton (2-5) pitched one inning for the win and Bartolome Fortunato got three outs for his first career save, getting Marquis Grissom on a double-play grounder to end the game with Barry Bonds on deck.

Bonds had four hits, was walked twice and scored three runs for the Giants, who lost for only the second time in 10 games.

Glavine threw only 50 of 110 pitches for strikes and walked a season-high six in five innings.
