08/29/2010 - San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Freddy Sanchez had three hits, knocked in two runs and scored a run to push San Francisco past Arizona, 9-7, in a back and forth affair in the last of a three-game set.
Andres Torres added two hits, two runs scored and drove in two while Jose Guillen's two-run single in the seventh put the Giants ahead to stay as they salvaged the last game of the series to halt a three-game slide.
Jeremy Affeldt (3-3) grabbed the win despite allowing a two-run double that gave Arizona the lead in the top of the seventh, and Brian Wilson recorded the last five outs to earn his 36th save for San Francisco, which moved to within five games of San Diego in the NL West and remained 1 1/2 games behind Wild Card leader Philadelphia.
Esmerling Vasquez (1-5) suffered the loss after yielding three runs -- two earned -- on three hits in his lone inning of work for the Diamondbacks, who had a three-game win streak snapped.
Gerardo Parra singled to start the Arizona seventh, and, after pinch-hitter Rusty Ryal struck out, Giants starting pitcher Matt Cain was lifted with a 5-2 lead in favor of Javier Lopez, who gave up a single to Stephen Drew and was replaced by Santiago Casilla.
The move did not work, as Justin Upton belted a double into centerfield to plate both runners and trim the deficit to a run. Upton moved to third on a wild pitch and stayed put after Kelly Johnson walked and Chris Young struck out.
Bruce Bochy turned to Jeremy Affeldt to face LaRoche, and again the percentage play did not pan out, as the left-swinger laced a double to right to chase home both runners to put the visitors in the lead at 6-5.
Vasquez assumed the hill for Arizona in the bottom of the frame and allowed a leadoff single to Sanchez that was followed by a Huff ground rule double that Parra lost in the sun. Guillen then singled into center to chase home both runners to put the Giants back on top at 7-6.
Nate Schierholtz came on as a pinch-runner and advanced to second on an errant pickoff attempt, to third on a Pablo Sandoval ground out and scored on a Cody Ross sacrifice fly to push the lead to two.
Parra legged out an infield single to start the eighth and advanced on a Ryan Roberts sacrifice bunt. Drew beat out an infield hit as Parra turned third and headed for the plate. He slid around the attempted tag of catcher Eli Whiteside and beat him back to the plate with a dive to slice the Giants' lead to 8-7.
Wilson then took over on the mound and gave up an infield hit to Upton before Johnson struck out and Young flied out to center to end the threat.
San Francisco added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth against Juan Gutierrez when Torres walked with two outs and scored on Sandoval's double to right.
Arizona, which struck for six runs in the first inning on Saturday, loaded the bases with one out in the first but Cain bulldogged his way out of the jam by striking out LaRoche and Mark Reynolds.
The visitors did break through two innings later on Drew's leadoff long ball to right.
San Francisco stormed back to grab their first lead of the series in the home half on a run-scoring double by Torres, an RBI single by Sanchez, a Huff fielder's choice grounder that plated Torres and a run-scoring double by Sandoval high off the brick wall in rightfield that brought Huff home to complete the four-run surge.
Eli Whiteside singled with one out in the fourth, moved to second on a Cain single and scored on a Torres base hit to make it a 5-1 contest.
Pinch-hitter Ryan Church struck out to begin the fifth but reached first base on a Cain wild pitch. The right-hander then uncorked two more wild offerings that advanced Church to third, from where he scored on a Drew ground out to cut the deficit to 5-2.
Game Notes
Cain allowed three runs on six hits with a walk and seven strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings...The right-hander had his run of 19 shutout innings against the D'Backs this season snapped in the third inning...Cain is 6-1 in his last 10 home turns and 7-3 in 14 home starts this season...Ross went 0-for-3 and lost an eight-game hitting streak, while Sanchez has hit safely in six straight and is 15-for-24...Giants outfielder Aaron Rowand turned 33 Sunday...Arizona starter Rodrigo Lopez lasted just four frames, giving up five runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out three...LaRoche's two RBI gave him 87, which tied the franchise single-season record for a first baseman, set by Tony Clark in 2005...Arizona is 14-13 with two games left in August, as it tries to secure its first winning month since August of last season.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
