It’s a Long Day for Dodger Relievers : Baseball: Fans pelt them with objects, Giants do it with hits in 11th, winning, 5-4.

SAN FRANCISCO — After not allowing an earned run in 13 days, reality struck the Dodgers’ bullpen Sunday in the form of ice, pennies and base hits in a 5-4, 11-inning loss to the San Francisco Giants.

“It was brutal,” said Steve Wilson, the losing pitcher.

The bullpen knew it would be a long day in front of 40,031 at Candlestick Park when the first fists began pounding on the roof of the shack where they sit in the left-field corner.

When they finally walked outside the shack to get away from the heat and noise, they were pelted with ice cubes, ballpark peanuts, old pennies and new ways of conjugating profane verbs.

In the middle of the game, Jim Gott climbed on a chair to scold the crowd, and somebody else summoned security, which ejected a fan. But the storm only got worse.

“When I was with Pittsburgh, it was never this bad. It’s just the Dodgers,” Gott said. “I just wish the parents of some of these kids could hear them. I don’t know if you could get enough security.”

Said Tim Crews: “Security said they have to let people do those things to us. Otherwise, those people won’t buy tickets to the game.”

The good news for the relievers was that, by the 10th inning, everybody but Roger McDowell had been in the game, and McDowell was throwing in the bullpen along the left-field line.

The bad news for the bullpen was that Wilson was on the mound when the game abruptly ended in the 11th inning on Kevin Bass’ game-winning, two-out single to center field.

It was Bass’ first hit in four at-bats as a right-handed hitter this year. He was the fourth consecutive batter to single against Wilson, following Darren Lewis, Willie McGee and Will Clark. The last three singles were with two out.

The only reason a run did not score earlier was that Wilson picked Lewis off first base.

“I let us down. That’s all there is to it,” said Wilson, who allowed an earned run for only the second time in 21 appearance in a Dodger uniform. “With what happened to us today, you can’t afford to go out there and make pitches like that,” Wilson added. “You just have to pitch better.”

Besides ruining the Dodgers’ chances for sweeping the Giants in a three-game series here for the first time since 1981, Wilson also wasted one of the Dodgers most timely hits of the year.

With Giant starter Bill Swift five outs from becoming the major league’s first five-game winner, Darryl Strawberry hit a 460-foot home run into the upper deck in right field to score three runs and tie the game in the eighth inning.

“When that happens, we believe we can win the game,” Strawberry said. “This is a team that feels we can always come back and beat you.”

They had good reason to feel that way Sunday.

The Dodgers had scored one earned run against Swift in the previous 14 2/3 innings going into the eighth. Of 59 Dodger batters he faced, just 17 hit the ball out of the infield in fair territory.

Brett Butler and Lenny Harris started the inning with singles and scored ahead of Strawberry.

“That obviously was a bad pitch, he hit it 460 feet,” Swift said.

Strawberry said it was only a matter of time before somebody figured out this career American Leaguer with the funny sinker.

“The thing is, the second time you face a guy, you learn to be more patient. You learn to make him get the ball up,” said Strawberry, who hits his fourth homer overall but first in 26 at-bats.

The comeback erased earlier problems that included six walks--one intentional--by starting pitcher Bob Ojeda and the first error of the season by Kal Daniels, making only his second start at first base in the last week.

But then three innings later Wilson ended the bullpen’s 22 2/3-inning streak without an earned run. This included four scoreless innings Sunday by Crews, John Candelaria and Gott.

The error came in the fourth inning, with the Dodgers trailing, 2-1. With two out and runners on second and third, Darren Lewis hit a high chopper to Daniels.

By the time the ball settled into Daniels’ glove, Lewis and Ojeda had raced to first base. Daniels threw the ball behind both and into foul territory in front of the Giants’ dugout.

Kirt Manwaring scored from third base on Lewis’ hit, and Royce Clayton scored from second base on Daniels’ error.

After Strawberry tied it, the Dodgers had a chance to take the lead in the ninth inning. But with the bases loaded, pinch-hitter Todd Benzinger struck out looking against pitcher Dave Righetti.

Benzinger couldn’t believe it. “I’ve never seen anything like that, I couldn’t have even hit it.”
