NEW YORK (AP) — Mets left fielder Dominic Smith readily took the blame for plowing into shortstop Amed Rosario on the potential inning-ending play in the 13th inning that ended up costing his team the game.Smith Jeff Samardzija Jersey , a highly touted prospect who has been envisioned as the Mets’ first-baseman of the future, was positioned in deep left field after a double-switch an inning earlier when San Francisco’s Brandon Crawford lifted a lazy popup with runners on first and third and two outs.Rosario, who earlier in the game had dropped a routine foul ball, ranged into shallow left field, waved off Smith and was in position for a routine catch when Smith came charging in and barged into him.The ball ticked off Rosario’s glove and fell to the ground, and Andrew McCutchen scored on the botched play that resulted in an error for Smith and gave the Giants the tiebreaking run in a 2-1 win over New York.“It was hit high and I was playing deep. So you don’t want to call it too early,” said Smith, who’s logged 59 1/3 innings in left field – all this season. “So when I finally noticed that he was there I tried to call it late, I called it way too late. That’s definitely on me.”McCutchen was already prepared to head back out for defense when he saw the ball drop and made sure to step on home plate quickly.“Laughed all the way to the dugout,” he said. “Everybody’s eyes were about as big as that big-eyed emoji. It was pretty crazy. Everyone was pretty stunned, but everyone was going to be stunned when something like that happens.”The Giants ended their four-game losing streak. Derek Law (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the win.Tyler Bashlor (0-2) gave up a leadoff single in the 13th to Chase d’Arnaud http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-johnny-cueto-jersey , who advanced to third after an errant pickoff throw and a wild pitch. After McCutchen walked, Joe Panik fouled out and d’Arnaud was thrown out at the plate on a grounder. Crawford followed with the high pop.Mets starter Zack Wheeler struck out 10 in seven innings, allowing one run and five hits. The Giants took Wheeler with the sixth overall pick in the 2009 draft and later traded him to New York for Carlos Beltran.Wheeler is 6-0 with a 1.93 ERA since July 14. This was his first double-digit strikeout game since 2014 — he missed the 2015 and 2016 seasons after Tommy John surgery.The Mets righty had a 1-0 lead heading into the sixth when Alen Hanson’s blooper to shallow left field beat a shifted Rosario, who was playing more toward second base.“When a ball gets hit and you don’t get an out from it, it’s kind of frustrating,” Wheeler said.Giants starter Derek Holland gave up one run and four hits in five innings.TRAINER’S ROOMGiants: Law was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento before the game. … RHP Dereck Rodriguez (right hamstring) is scheduled to be activated Friday and start the opener of a three-game set against Texas.

Wright’s window will be up Aug. 31. St. Lucie’s season ends Sept. 2, and if Wright is still not ready to return to the Mets, he could agree to perhaps join the organization’s Double-A or Triple-A affiliate.“We’ll see how he looks in a couple weeks when we’re at the end of this time period,” Ricco said. “Right now, we’re kind of taking it day to day.”UP NEXTGiants: RHP Chris Stratton (8-5, 5.52 ERA) will be recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to start the second game of the series. Stratton lasted just three innings in his last start http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-deion-sanders-jersey , Aug. 3 at Arizona, in which he gave up six runs and 10 hits.Mets: LHP Steven Matz (5-10, 4.60) makes his second career start against San Francisco. He was on the mound for just two innings in a loss last Thursday at Philadelphia. Matz gave up six runs, four earned, and five hits. HOUSTON (AP) — Seattle’s Felix Hernandez has lost his spot in the rotation in the wake of his latest terrible start in a season filled with struggles.The right-hander, who threw a perfect game in 2012, will pitch out of the bullpen for the first time in his career. He’s having the worst season of 14-year career as the Mariners chase their first playoff berth since 2001. Hernandez has a career-high 5.73 ERA this season and is 0-4 in his last five starts, capped by a clunker against the Rangers on Tuesday when he allowed a career-high 11 runs — seven earned — on eight hits in six innings.The six-time All-Star and 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner, who earned the nickname King Felix for his majestic presence on the mound, trotted from the dugout to the bullpen after the third inning Thursday night against Houston but did not pitch. Manager Scott Servais announced the decision postgame.Servais said he spoke with Hernandez before the game and informed him of the decision. Hernandez has spent his entire career with the Mariners, where all his 398 appearances have been as a starter.“He’s done an unbelievable job as a Mariner Alen Hanson Jersey ,” Servais said. “And I certainly don’t take any of this lightly, but I just think trying to make the best decision for the ballclub and really the best decision for Felix at this point is just take a breath. Step back, gather yourself.”Servais said the conversation was a difficult one.“Certainly, respect him and everything he’s done here throughout his career, but these things happen and ultimately it’s about the team,” he said. “It’s never easy but again hopefully he takes it the right way. He’ll get a chance to pitch at some point down there and maybe he can work his way back in the rotation. We’ll see. He’ll let us know on that.”Hernandez declined to speak to reporters when approached after the game.The 32-year-old right-hander is 168-124 with a 3.32 ERA in his career. But after posting an AL-leading and career-best 2.14 ERA in 2014, Hernandez has become increasingly less dominant each year, bottoming out this season by going 8-10 in 23 starts.Hernandez got two wins to end the month of June before a terrible July where he went 0-3, with the lowlight coming when he allowed six hits and seven runs in just 2 2/3 innings of an 11-5 loss to the Angels.Servais said the team hasn’t decided who will take Hernandez’s spot in the rotation Sunday in the finale of this four-game series.
