Milwaukee, Sept. 5: Bengie Molina hit an eighth-inning solo homer to give San Francisco the lead Friday and the Giants held on to edge Milwaukee 3-2.

San Francisco, which began the night trailing Colorado by a game in the National League wild-card race, managed only four hits and faced an early 2-0 deficit, but came back to pick up the crucial victory.

The Giants got a big break in the sixth with runners on first and second and two away when Mike Cameron botched a fly ball to center. That allowed Edgar Renteria to score, and Aaron Rowand then delivered a single that brought in Juan Uribe from third.

Molina's game-winning homer came on the first pitch of the eighth inning from Todd Coffey (4-4).

San Francisco, Aug. 27: Bengie Molina hit a three-run homer with two out in the eighth inning Wednesday that rallied the San Francisco Giants to a 4-3 triumph over Arizona.

The Diamondbacks took a 3-0 lead into the seventh, but that advantage disappeared thanks to a solo homer by Juan Uribe and Molina's 16th blast of the season.

San Francisco's comeback allowed the Giants to close within three games of Colorado for the lead in the National League wild-card race. Arizona has won only once in 10 games.

Arizona starter Doug Davis was still on the mound to start the eighth and he retired the first two men in the inning. Edgar Renteria then drew a walk and Randy Winn singled Renteria to second, driving Davis from the game in place of Chad Qualls (2-2).

MLB: Colorado 6, San Francisco 4 (14 inn.)

Denver, Aug. 25: Ryan Spilborghs ended a bizarre 14th inning with a grand slam homer Monday, giving the Colorado Rockies a 6-4 victory over San Francisco.

Neither side could score after the fifth inning until they combined to tally eight times in the 14th.

Colorado won its third straight over the Giants and expanded its lead over San Francisco to four games in the National League wild-card chase.

San Francisco appeared to have wrapped up the win in the top of the 14th with a three-run inning, keyed by triples from Edgar Renteria and Eugenio Velez.

Brandon Medders then came on for his third inning of work in hopes of nailing down a San Francisco victory.

MLB: Cincinnati 10, San Francisco 5

San Francisco, Aug. 8: A bases-loaded walk to Brandon Phillips ignited a five-run ninth inning Friday that broke a tie and lifted Cincinnati to a 10-5 victory over San Francisco.

Cincinnati got only one ball, a sacrifice fly, out of the infield in the inning, and only one of the five runs was earned.

Drew Sutton reached on a bunt single to start the inning against Brian Wilson (3-5), then Alex Gonzalez and Joey Votto walked to load the bases.

Phillips walked on five pitches to bring in Sutton with the go-ahead run.

San Francisco, July 12: Pablo Sandoval hit a two-run homer and six Giants' pitchers scattered six hits Friday in San Francisco's 2-1 win over San Diego.

Sandoval drove in Randy Winn with a fourth-inning homer off Padres' starter Tim Stauffer (0-1), who went seven innings, allowing the two runs on four hits with one walk and seven strikeouts.

Everth Cabrera scored from second on a throwing error in the eighth to account for the only run for the Padres, who have lost 10 of their last 11 games.

Giants' starter Matt Cain left the game with two out in the second after sustaining a right arm injury when he was hit by a line drive. X-rays were negative and the injury was diagnosed as a bruise.

MLB: San Francisco 9, Houston 0

San Francisco, July 4: Tim Lincecum and two relievers combined on a three-hit shutout Saturday, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 9-0 rout of the Houston Astros.

Lincecum (9-2), a likely NL Cy Young candidate, gave up the three hits in seven scoreless innings with two walks and nine strikeouts in 107 pitches. He cruised after San Francisco scored six times in the bottom of the sixth.

Relievers Brandon Medders and Merkin Valdez threw one scoreless inning apiece.

Aaron Rowand had two hits and two RBI, Randy Winn hit a two-run double in the sixth, Nate Schierholtz had one RBI and Juan Uribe had a run and two hits for the Giants, who have split their last four contests.
