No way, Jose! Tejada's error at short sinks Mets

NEW YORK (AP) — In the absence of injured All-Star Jose Reyes, the New York Mets are taking a long, hard look at 21-year-old Ruben Tejada .

The team wants to determine whether he's ready to start at shortstop next season if Reyes leaves as a free agent, and a 3-2 loss to the Padres on Thursday was not Tejada's best audition.

Cameron Maybin homered and stole two bases before scoring the tiebreaking run on Tejada's second error, rallying San Diego past the Mets 3-2 for a split of their four-game series.

"I'm going to talk to him in a little while, because he's the shortstop," New York manager Terry Collins said. "That's why we brought him here, because we want him to play shortstop every day until Jose comes back, and he's got to let this roll off his back. We're going to turn to some older guys to make sure his mind's in the right place."

Lucas Duda hit a two-run double for the Mets, who managed only three hits and went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position. New York finished 3-6 on a disappointing homestand and has lost eight of 11 overall.

With the Mets short on rested relievers, Jonathon Niese (11-9) tossed 7 2-3 strong innings and matched his career high with 122 pitches. He outlasted Cory Luebke in a matchup of young left-handers from Ohio, but couldn't hold an early 2-0 lead.

"I didn't even know we had a short 'pen today," Niese said. "I just went out there with the same mentality — throw nice and easy, throw strikes."

The score was tied in the eighth when Maybin hit a leadoff single and stole second on a pickoff throw to first. Duda's toss was a bit late to Tejada and the Mets didn't get the call on a close play when he tagged Maybin's shoulder.

Niese, who pitched a one-hitter against San Diego at Citi Field last year for his only major league shutout, put his hands on his head in exasperation.

After the game, Maybin said he was safe. Tejada thought he got him.

"That's the name of the game, man. Sometimes you've got to try to force the issue a little bit and I was able to do so and it worked out," Maybin said.

One out later, Jesus Guzman was intentionally walked and the runners pulled off a double steal as Kyle Blanks struck out. Aaron Cunningham hit a grounder wide of third and Tejada charged in, trying to scoop it on his forehand. But the ball kicked off the heel of his glove, allowing Maybin to score.

"You have to make that play," Tejada said.
