San Francisco, Oct. 1: Brad Penny threw a complete game Wednesday and Eli Whiteside drove in three runs to carry the San Francisco Giants to a 4-1 decision over Arizona.

Despite the win, the Giants were eliminated from playoff contention when the Colorado Rockies defeated Milwaukee earlier in the evening. San Francisco won its third straight and will finish the season with a winning record for the first time in five years.

Penny (11-9) went the distance for just the fourth time in 275 career starts over 10 seasons. He allowed six hits, struck out six and the only run off him was unearned. Penny threw 109 pitches and walked one batter.

Whiteside had a two-run single during San Francisco's three-run second and added a solo homer in the fourth.

San Francisco, Sept. 27: Matt Cain gave up three hits in eight scoreless innings Sunday, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 5-1 win over the Chicago Cubs.

Cain (14-7) walked two batters and struck eight on the way to ending a three-start losing streak.

Reliever Sergio Romo yielded a run and two hits before closer Brian Wilson fanned Reed Johnson for the final out to earn his 37th save.

Eli Whiteside led San Francisco with two RBI doubles. Eugenio Velez, Pablo Sandoval and Juan Uribe all had two hits and one RBI for the Giants, who maintained their slim playoff hopes, having won just three of nine.

The Giants trail the Colorado Rockies by five games in the NL wild-card chase.

Lincecum, the ace of the San Francisco staff and last year's winner of the National League Cy Young Award, improved to 13-4. He struck out eight and allowed only two Colorado runners to reach second base.

Brian Wilson completed the shutout, giving up a single while striking out two in the ninth for his 31st save.
