SAN FRANCISCO -- Two pitchers with a combined 267 major league victories seek their first at AT&T Park with their current team Saturday when Bartolo Colon and Matt Moore square off in the third contest of a four-game series between the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants.The Giants (68-54) have won the first two games of the series, which has enabled them to erase a 1 1/2-game deficit and take over first place in the National League West by a half-game over the Los Angeles Dodgers.The Mets (60-62), meanwhile, continue to sink in the NL wild-card race. Theyve fallen 5 1/2 games out of the second wild-card spot, which is held by the St. Louis Cardinals (65-56).A baserunning blunder, a two-run throwing error and a bullpen blow-up helped doom the Mets in Fridays 8-1 loss.It appears right fielder Jay Bruce will pay the price, even though he wasnt involved in any of the aforementioned issues. He did, however, ground into a double play with the potential tying runs on base in the eighth inning, making him 12-for-68 as a Met.He will be given Saturday off, Mets manager Terry Collins announced after the game.I just talked to him, Collins told reporters. Hes really pressing.Several Giants were having similar problems before the club broke out for 17 hits in Thursdays 10-7, series-opening win.San Francisco pounded out 15 more hits Friday.This is a good offensive club, Giants manager Bruce Bochy insisted after Fridays victory. I know we went through a tough stretch there. But theyre good hitters. Theyre comfortable up there.That comfort level will be tested by Colon, who has won twice in San Francisco, once for the Montreal Expos in 2002 and 10 years later for the Oakland Athletics in 2012.Hes failed to add to that win total in two subsequent starts at AT&T Park for the Mets, getting a no-decision in a 5-4 defeat in 2014 and suffering the loss in a 3-0 setback at the hands of the Giants last season.Colon takes the mound tied with CC Sabathia of the New York Yankees for the most road wins among active pitchers with 118. No other pitcher has more than 100.Even at age 43, Colon remains a force at the opponents ballpark. Hes gone 6-4 with a 3.30 ERA in 12 road starts this season. Only 14 pitchers have more road wins.Suffice it to say, Colon has pitched better at AT&T Park (2-1 with a 2.78 ERA in four starts) than Moore, who debuted at his new home park Monday and was roughed up for five runs on six hits in six innings in an 8-5 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.Moore was a strong home pitcher while with the Rays, going 21-14 with a 3.76 ERA.He has never faced the Mets in his six-year career.Adidas Falcon New Zealand .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court.

Manu Lecomte, who sat out last year after transferring from Miami, added 13 points and 10 assists without a turnover.Its a great feeling. I was a little nervous before the game, Lecomte said. Obviously, I havent played in a year and a half, so I was a little nervous.Jo Lual-Acuil Jr., who missed last season due to a heart condition, added 12 points and nine rebounds for the Bears.The Bears shot 55.6 percent in the first half and took a 38-31 lead into intermission before pulling away midway through the second half. Their 10 3-pointers helped offset a 38-22 edge in the paint for Oral Roberts.I thought last year defensively, we struggled at the 3-point line, Baylor coach Scott Drew said. And I thought we shared the ball well. Anytime you have 10 assists, zero turnovers from the point guard play, thats hard to beat. Very impressive performance from Manu.Emmanuel Nzekwesi scored 15 points to lead the Golden Eagles, who didnt have another player reach double figures.I give Baylor a lot of credit especially on the defensive end, Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton said. They held two of our best players to 6-for-26 shooting, and youre not going to beat any goood team on the road when Albert (Owens) and Jalen (Bradley) shoot like that.dddddddddddd.Bradley scored nine points and Owens added eight. I think Baylors defense had a lot to do with that, said Sutton. Those two guys are going to have great years. Its just one of those nights when the ball didnt go in.BIG PICTUREBaylor: Baylor struggled with its inside game, but that figures to improve with the return of Johnathan Motley, who served a one-game suspension after violating an NCAA rule by playing in an improper summer league game.Oral Roberts: The Golden Eagles hoped their experienced team could make an early statement after a 14-17 mark last season.
