The miscue came when he failed to glove a high chopper by Ellis. It wasn't ruled an error, although Gomez had time to retire Ellis, who was limping badly after having injured an ankle and a thigh in the second inning. Ellis was replaced by a pinch runner after reaching first base. After a walk, Greg Colbrunn hit a slow bounder that got by Nevin for the third baseman's eighth error in 11 games. I should say 'I.' I let two runners on.
Grace hits the big home run.
The Padres have made more errors than any other major league club, but it generally hasn't mattered. We didn't think we were going to win the rest of the games this season.
