WASHINGTON -- Dillon Gee lost track of the count and pulled off a bad acting job that fooled his own manager. Daniel Murphy didnt stop running from second on a groundball to third, scoring the crucial insurance run. Bryce Harper failed to hustle on a grounder, prompting the substitute manger to proclaim: "Its something weve got to fix." Such little dramas make for fascinating baseball, enough to make the New York Mets 3-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Friday night something more than a playing-out-the-string team beating one trying to keep faint hopes alive. Gee (10-9) mastered the Nationals the way he always does, allowing six hits and two solo home runs over 7 2-3 innings and outdueling Jordan Zimmermann (15-8) as the Mets won for only the third time in nine games. Gee is 7-2 lifetime against Washington. His weird moment came when he flexed his arm awkwardly after a pitch to Ian Desmond in the seventh inning. The manager and trainer rushed onto the field, only to learn that Gee had lost track of the count. Gee thought he had struck out Desmond and was genuflecting to save face after realizing there were only two strikes. "I feel bad. I felt like an idiot out there," Gee said. "I tried to play it off and played it off the wrong way and then they come out. It was just a disaster." Gee then got Desmond to swing at a low pitch for strike three. It was Murphys hustle that gave the Mets a 3-1 lead in the eighth. On second base after a two-out double, he didnt slow down after Andrew Brown hit a smash down the line. Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman made the stop, but he unwisely uncorked a no-hope throw to first on the run. Adam LaRoche couldnt field the short hop, allowing Murphy to score easily while Brown got credit for a single and an RBI. "Coming around third there, once I thought Zimmerman was going to throw it to first, and I felt like I could make the play at the plate," Murphy said. "If he puts in his pocket, Im dead." Nationals bench coach Randy Knorr, in charge for most of the game after manager Davey Johnson left the dugout due to illness, couldnt blame Zimmerman for not eating the ball. "In his mind, hes trying to get the out," Knorr said. "I bet hes thinking right now that maybe I shouldve done it that way, but hes made great plays so you cant fault him for that." Knorr had stronger words for Harper, the 20-year-old slugger who came to the plate with men on first and second and two outs in a one-run game. With a 3-0 count against reliever Scott Rice -- and with hot-hitting Jayson Werth on deck -- Harper swung at an inside pitch and fouled it off. Then he swung again at 3-1 -- "probably ball four," he called it -- and hit a grounder to second, where Murphy bobbled the ball but could take his time recovering because Harper wasnt hustling to first. Knorr doesnt fault himself for giving Harper the green light -- and hes fine with Harper swinging at the pitch -- but he wants to see the young slugger run out the grounder. "I dont think he does it intentionally, but hes going to have to start picking it up a little bit because weve got everybody else doing it," Knorr said. "And he gets frustrated at times and it just comes out in him. "Its something that weve got to fix. ... Hes got a lot going on. Its hard for me to say; Im not 20 years old in the big leagues with stuff going on around me. Its something weve got to get to the bottom of, and keep talking to him because eventually were just going to have to take him out of the game." Asked what happened on the play, Harper said: "I have no clue. Groundout to Murphy, hes pretty good over there, so in that situation I think he makes that play every single day." Told what Knorr said about the play, Harper replied: "Ill guess I learn from it." The Nationals, who began the day 6 1/2 games behind the Cincinnati Reds for the NLs second wild-card spot, lost for just the second time in 10 games. Gee faced three batters above the minimum through seven innings. The only scoreboard damage came on Wilson Ramos homer to lead off the third and pinch-hitter Steve Lombardozzis two-out solo shot in the eighth. Zimmermann, who remains tied with Adam Wainwright for the NL lead in wins, allowed three runs and six hits over 7 2-3 innings. He didnt allow a hit until Murphys single to lead off the fourth, but that was followed two batters later by Ike Davis opposite-field home run. Notes: Knorr said Johnson left the dugout sometime around the fourth inning. "Hes fine. I think hes coming down with something," Knorr said. "He got a little light-headed, so he just went back upstairs. I think he might be catching a cold or something." ... LaTroy Hawkins pitched the ninth for his sixth save. ... Nationals CF Denard Span stretched his hitting streak to a career-high 13 games, while Harpers 11-game hitting streak came to an end.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Zach Randolph has been one of the few constants for a Memphis Grizzlies team thats been rocked by a steady string of injuries to key players. And the big man was at it again on Monday night, scoring 22 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and even dishing a season-high seven assists in the Grizzlies 104-94 victory over the Utah Jazz. "We go as our leader goes," Memphis guard Tony Allen said. "He carried us today." But he also had plenty of help from a bench that scored 51 points. Jerryd Bayless scored all 17 of his points in the second half while Mike Miller added 15 and Jon Leuer 11. The Jazz were so worried about Randolphs ability down low that they strayed from the Grizzlies 3-point shooters. That proved to be a costly mistake. Memphis shot 11 of 20 (55 per cent) from 3-point range, using timely shots to brush back all of Utahs rallies. Bayless, Miller and Leuer were a combined 8 of 10 from long range. "Im impressed," Memphis coach Dave Joerger said. "We just kept coming harder for longer stretches of time. We kept the turnovers down, which gives us some shots. We got some offensive rebounds. I think our mistakes are glaring at this point. The reason that they are glaring is because there are fewer and fewer of them." Memphis (12-15) has won two in the row after losing a season-high five straight. Bayless hit two 3-pointers in a row, one at the end of the third quarter and the other at the beginning of the fourth, to help the Grizzlies push out to an 80-71 lead. Utah (8-23) was led by Trey Burke and Richard Jefferson, who each scored 18 points. Gordon Hayward added 16 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. Derrick Favours also scored 16. Utah made several runs to keep the game close, but never led after late in the first quarter, when the Grizzlies went on an 11-0 to turn a 21-18 deficit into a 229-21 advantage.dddddddddddd "I thought the effort was there. Were trying," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. "We had some lulls in there, but the guys are fighting, and, as a result, we had chances in the ballgame. We just couldnt get over the hump." The Grizzlies pushed out to a 41-29 lead by midway through the second quarter, but nearly lost it before recovering for a 53-48 halftime lead. Randolph led all scorers with 12 first-half points while Burke had 11 for the Jazz. James Johnson -- a 6-foot-9 forward who the Grizzlies signed last week from the D-League -- once again received extensive playing time. He started his second straight game and played 33 minutes, contributing nine points, five rebounds, four blocks and a constant stream of energy. He swatted Haywards 3-point attempt into the seats just before the end of the first quarter and jammed Jeffersons layup attempt back in his face in the third quarter. Both blocks received huge cheers from the bench. The Grizzlies need all the energy they can get these days while trying to weather a steady stream of injuries. Tayshaun Prince sat out a third straight game because of a sore left knee. Randolphs seven assists were one short of a career high. It proved too much for Utah to overcome. The game signalled the end of a long road trip for the Jazz, which spanned 4,684 miles and five games over eight days. "Their bench played extremely well, and we just didnt match that energy they had especially in the second half," Jefferson said. NOTES: Memphis F Jon Leuer made 1 of 2 3-point attempts, which actually dropped his season mark to 14 of 26 (53.8 per cent). Leuer has scored in double figures in eight of his last nine games ... Tony Allen was called a technical foul in the third quarter after shoving Utahs John Lucas III. ... The Grizzlies improved to 6-10 at FedExForum.
