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.

Army and Notre Dame have at least one thing in common this season: Each has had trouble against option attacks.When they meet on Saturday in San Antonio at the Alamodome, Army (5-4) just might have a small edge. The Black Knights use the clock-chewing triple option, and the Irish (3-6) are reeling from a one-point loss to Navy, their third setback in four games in what so far is the worst of Brian Kellys seven seasons as head coach.The chance to play in a bowl game is still a possibility for both teams. Kelly said he planned no changes.Were all going through a tough spot, but were persevering, Kelly said. Its not where anybody wants to be. But were handling the situation as best we can and were trying to make certain that everything that we do makes us stronger for right now and for the future.The Black Knights are coming off a 31-12 loss at home to Air Force, whose option was in high gear. Despite a subpar showing against the Falcons -- 144 yards on 40 carries -- Army still ranks second nationally in rushing (320.3 yards per game), averaging 5.3 yards per carry.Defensively, another challenge of playing a triple-option team that ... runs the ball very, very well and can be opportunistic throwing the football, Kelly said. So, focus is on, obviously, the details and the execution. In a large degree, we were able to do a lot of those things well last week, but not as well as Navy.Notre Dames six losses have come by a combined 29 points (4.8 per game), and all were one-possession games.That happens, Army coach Jeff Monken said. Theyve had opportunities to win a lot of football games and just havent had a break go their way or the other team has made a play. Thats sports.Last week, trailing 28-24 midway through the fourth quarter Kelly opted for a 31-yard field goal instead of gambling on fourth-and-4 deep in Navy territory. He made the call even though his defense had not forced a punt, and Notre Dame never got the ball back, finishing the game with just six possessions.Navy ran out the clock with its triple-option offense, converting two huge fourth-down plays on the final drive.We learned quite a bit the last week. We definitely learned how to value our possession on the offensive side of thhe ball, Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer said.dddddddddddd. When you have the opportunity to take shots, youve got to be successful with them because your possessions are limited when youre playing against a triple-option team.Other things to know when Army plays Notre Dame on Saturday:KELLY-HOLTZ CONNECTIONKelly will tie Lou Holtz for the most losses at Notre Dame with his next defeat. Holtz had a 100-30-2 record in 11 seasons at South Bend. Kelly is 58-29 in seven seasons at Notre Dame and just 14-13 in his last 27 games with the Irish. Charlie Weis is next in losses with a 35-27 record in five seasons.STOUT DEFENSEThe Army defense is fifth in the nation in passing yards allowed per game (166.6) and sixth in total defense (286.4). Its also 13th in the country in scoring defense (18.1 points).NAVY HANGOVERNotre Dame has often struggled in the week after playing Navy, going 3-6 the past nine seasons. The streak includes losses to Air Force in 2007, Syracuse in 2008 and Tulsa in 2010, narrow victories against Wake Forest in 2011 and Purdue in 2012, losses to Pittsburgh in 2009 and 2013 and Arizona State in 2014. The Irish beat USC 41-31 last season.SHAMROCK SERIESNotre Dame is 7-0 in Shamrock Series games, which are officially home games played at neutral sites. The series was started in 2009 when the Irish beat Washington State 40-14 in the Alamodome. San Antonio is the first repeat site for the game, and Army is the first repeat opponent. The Irish beat the Black Knights 27-3 at Yankee Stadium in 2010.HISTORY LESSONIn this storied rivalry , Notre Dame has beaten Army 14 straight times and the last time it lost to Navy and Army in the same season was 1944. That year, the second-ranked Irish lost to No. 6 Navy 32-13 and a week later, after dropping three spots in the AP poll, they lost to top-ranked Army 59-0 in the largest loss in Notre Dame history.---AP Sports Writer Tom Coyne in South Bend, Indiana contributed.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .---Follow Kekis on Twitter: www.twitter.com/Greek1947 Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
