Luke McCormick scored a second-half winner as Mansfield tasted back-to-back defeats in League One for the first time with a narrow 1-0 defeat at home to Bristol Rovers.
The Stags wasted the only clear chance of a first half short on quality and chances.
After 28 minutes, Stephen Quinn crossed the ball in from the left, Keanu Baccus nodded it down and Will Evans met it with a rising shot that zipped over the crossbar.

Evans got a powerful shot on target after 66 minutes for the home side, but Josh Griffiths was there to make his first real save of the afternoon.
Evans then sliced another chance wide soon after as home frustration grew.
Hutchinson might have sealed the win - a minute from time on the break - but fired wide.
Stags then thought they had snatched a point in the seventh minute off added time, but Ben Waine had handled the ball just before George Maris drilled home.
