LOS ANGELES -- Dan Haren pitched a lot better than he bunted, which was fortuitous for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Brandon Parker Stitched Jersey . Haren overcame a leadoff homer by Curtis Granderson and a pair of failed sacrifice bunts to help the NL West leaders beat the error-prone New York Mets 6-2 on Friday night. Granderson drove Harens third pitch into the Mets bullpen in right field for his 28th career leadoff homer and fourth this season -- the most by a Mets player since Jose Reyes had four in 2008. The right-hander allowed only two singles after that. "I was really mad. Kind of a stupid pitch to Granderson," Haren said. "Hes not your typical leadoff hitter, hes got a lot of power, and I kind of laid one in there. I got a couple of outs after that and then really settled in pretty good." Haren (11-10) struck out six and walked none over seven innings, helping the Dodgers maintain their 3 1-2 game lead over San Francisco. The victory was his third in four starts after going 0-5 with a 10.03 ERA in his previous five outings. Jonathon Niese (7-9) allowed five runs -- two earned -- eight hits, and three walks in 6 2-3 innings. The unearned runs were the result of a throwing error by shortstop Wilmer Flores on a routine grounder by Adrian Gonzalez. "Its part of the game, A lot of us have had bad days, and weve all been there," Niese said. "Ive made a ton of errors that have cost us games. So you cant point the finger at (Flores). If I struck out Gonzalez, then he wouldnt have had to make that play. So its on my shoulders." The Mets tied a season high with four errors, including a dropped foul pop by first baseman Lucas Duda. "We had a bad night. It happens," manager Terry Collins said. "When you look up (after eight innings) and you have as many errors as youve got hits, thats not a good feeling. We looked a little ragged, but that shouldnt affect us." The Dodgers got their first two batters on in the third inning before Haren bunted into a double play started by Niese. But Dee Gordon slapped an opposite-field RBI single inside third to tie it 1-1. "I think the main thing Dee has done is stay within his approach," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Hes hit numerous balls down the third-base line, and that tells you hes letting the ball get deep. Hes doing it against righties and lefties." Haren came up again in the fifth with runners at the corners and tried a suicide squeeze. He bunted through an 0-1 pitch, and Justin Turner was erased in a rundown at third, but Haren then singled to drive in Erisbel Arruebarrena and give Los Angeles a 2-1 lead. "I almost made four outs in two at bats," Haren said. "I havent done a squeeze in a long time -- since probably spring training -- and I just got a little antsy with it. But I was lucky "I put a pretty good at-bat together and got us the lead there, and I felt good about that. I was still frustrated that I left J.T. out there hanging." Gordon hit his major league-leading 11th triple with two out in the seventh and scored on Flores second error of the game. Carlos Torres relieved Niese, and Matt Kemp greeted him with a two-run double to make it 5-1. Until then, Mets relievers had stranded 132 of 166 inherited runners (79.5 per cent), the best in the majors. "Weve done a good job there. But Matt Kemps a pretty good hitter, so youve got to make pitches," Collins said. TRAINERS ROOM Mets: Closer Jenrry Mejia, who was held back from a save situation Wednesday at Oakland because of a sore back, was the first Mets player on the field to do running and was available if needed, Collins said. Dodgers: There have been no setbacks in the rehab programs for SS Hanley Ramirez (right oblique), 3B Juan Uribe (right hamstring), LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (right hip), and LHP Paco Rodriguez (back). Ramirez could be activated from the DL on Sunday. UP NEXT Mets: Rookie Jacob deGrom (6-5, 2.87 ERA) will be reinstated from the disabled list and make his first start since Aug. 7, after being sidelined with rotator cuff tendinitis. He gave up three home runs to the Dodgers in a 4-3 home loss on May 21, but has yielded just one homer in 69 1-3 innings over his last 11 starts. He is 5-0 with a 1.55 ERA in his last six outings. Dodgers: Zack Greinke (12-8, 2.75 ERA) pitches on seven days rest after being pushed back two days because of elbow discomfort. He will try to avoid losing three consecutive decisions for the first time since June 8, 2010, with Kansas City, when he dropped four starts in a row. Throwback Raiders Jerseys .

DeRozan had one of his best games of the season as he scored 32 points to lead the Raptors past the Warriors 104-98 on Sunday afternoon, with the memory of Toronto giving up a 27-point lead to Golden State in December still lingering in his mind. "It was a big win, big win against a great Western Conference team," DeRozan said. "Especially with the way we lost at their place. The way that we lost was definitely tough, we understood that coming into tonight so it was definitely a big win." Acknowledging that the December loss was something Raptors players had thought about coming into Sundays contest, DeRozan downplayed his own stellar offensive output. "I just got out and played, to be honest," DeRozan said. "Just try to go out there and play to win. I understand that every game we go out and play, how important it is and everybody in this locker-room really wants to make the playoffs so Im just going out there doing whatever I can." DeRozan did more than just play on Sunday afternoon. He won the efficiency battle against Stephen Curry to give Toronto its first victory against the Warriors with Golden States all-star guard in the lineup. While Curry finished with 34 points on 13-for-27 shooting, DeRozan put in an all-star performance, scoring his 32 points on 10-for-16 shooting from the floor and 11-for-12 from the line. He also recorded four rebounds, six assists and a steal. Kyle Lowry added 13 points and eight assists for Toronto (33-26), while Patrick Patterson had 12 points and five rebounds. Currys 34 points for Golden State (36-24) were a game-high. David Lee added 20 points and 11 rebounds. While DeRozan was quiet about his own big night, he was effusive in his praise of his point guard. "Whatever I say about Kyle is an understatement," DeRozan said. "We go off him to be honest, man. We just ride off him, thats a hell of a player right there. Hes there reason why Im getting 30 points." Golden State went ahead by five points early in the fourth quarter before the Raptors reeled off an 11-0 run to take a 92-86 lead with less than six minutes remaining. Torontos fourth quarter scoring attack was led by DeRozan who scored 12 of his 32 in the quarter. "We just lost our composure on the offensive end a little bit and didnt play solid enough on the other end in the last five minutes," Curry said. "We had a five-point lead with eight minutes left, they went on aan 11-0 run and we didnt have an answer for it. Elite Raiders Jerseys. ." The game was close throughout, with Toronto holding a five-point lead at halftime. Things remained tight in the third with Curry scoring 14 in the quarter. The Warriors took a three-point advantage into the final quarter, ahead 78-75. Toronto shot 57 per cent through the first quarter, but found themselves behind by three at the end of one. Terrence Ross missed the game for the Raptors after spraining his ankle in the first half of Torontos triple-overtime loss to the Washington Wizards on Thursday. Landry Fields started in his place. It was the second start for Fields this season and he made his presence felt early, scoring six points in the opening quarter. After the game, Fields was singled out by coach and teammates for stepping up when he was needed. Casey said he went with Fields in the starting lineup because of what he could bring to the floor defensively. "He got switched off on Curry a few times and I thought his length helped us," Casey said. "Im a defensive guy and if guys are willing to play defence theyre going to have a big advantage over guys who are not defensive minded. Landry has done that for us and I commend him on his professionalism. Not playing at all, he was ready to go when his number was called." Lowry echoed the words of his coach. "Landrys just being professional," Lowry said. "He hasnt played in a while and he comes in tonight, unbelievable defensive effort. Saved me a few times by cutting backdoor, just being there and being athletic the way he can play. Hes been through a lot and youre just happy for him as a player, as a teammate. Youre happy for the opportunity and the things he was able to do tonight." For a team that has continued to say that they are 15 players deep, seeing a teammate step up meant a lot to the Raptors locker room. "Weve got great 15, 14, 13 guys. Weve got guys, Julyan (Stone), (Dwight) Buycks, Landry (Fields), Steve (Novak), theyve been true professionals. People dont see it from the outside looking in, but theyre as big a part as this team as anybody." Jermaine ONeal was not available for the Warriors after the team discovered he was missing his passport. ONeal had been with the team for their previous game against New York and head coach Mark Jackson said the team would meet him in Indiana for their Tuesday night game against the Pacers. Former NHLer and star of the 1972 Summit Series Paul Henderson was in attendance as was current Toronto Maple Leaf Joffrey Lupul.
