SAN FRANCISCO —Buster Posey and the San Francisco Giants offence broke out at home, and Matt Cain settled in and pitched like the ace of the staff. Darren McFadden Womens Jersey . It all added up to a one-sided win over the Colorado Rockies. Posey hit a two-run homer, and Cain tossed seven solid innings in the Giants 9-3 victory against the Rockies on Saturday. “We know what our offence is capable of doing,” Posey said. “We were coming off a good road trip, and it was nice to see us do the same at home.” Cain (11-5) gave up two runs and seven hits in 7 1-3 innings, and added an RBI single to win for the first time since July 15. He walked one and struck out six. Angel Pagan hit a two-run triple, and Marco Scutaro, Hunter Pence and Joaquin Arias also drove in runs for the Giants. “I felt like I was able to make better quality pitches this start,” Cain said. “My direction was better and I was able to pitch to the outer parts of the plate.” D.J. LeMahieu hit his first major league home run for the Rockies, who had won three of four. “The wind was blowing out a little bit and that kind of helped it,” LeMahieu said. “But to hit it off Matt Cain and here in San Francisco, it was pretty special.” Drew Pomeranz (1-7) gave up four runs and five hits over four innings to fall to 0-4 in his past six starts. He struck out three and didnt walk a batter. “We had to come from too far back against a very good pitching staff,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “You cant beat this team that way. You simply cant do it.” Poseys 19th home run of the season, a two-run shot in the third that landed in the first row of the left field bleachers, gave the Giants a 4-0 lead. It was Poseys ninth homer since the All-Star Break, tying him with San Diegos Chase Headley for the second most in the National League. “Im comfortable hitting here and see the ball well,” Posey said. “The park is big but all the gaps are big, too.” Cain carried a shutout into the sixth inning, when the Rockies loaded the bases with no outs. He pitched his way out of it, allowing one run on Rutledges infield groundout. LeMahieu hit Cains first pitch of the eighth inning, and Eric Young and Rutledge singled one out later to end Cains day. Pagan and Arias tripled, giving the Giants 38 on the season, two shy of the Rockies major league leading total. There have been 27 triples hit in AT&T Park. Notes: Rockies RHP Will Harris was recalled from Colorado Springs. RHP Edgmer Escalona was placed on the DL with inflammation in his right arm.

Carson Palmer Jersey . “I got lucky,” Johnson said about his second shot on the 244-yard par 3—his 13th hole Thursday— after his tee shot went through the green and stopped in a clump of grass. Darrius Heyward-Bey Jersey . The Washington Capitals were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs on Saturday, making the two players available for the tournament.

Manager Manny Acta said Saturday that Santana would probably wind up there because of a mild concussion. Sebastian Janikowski Jersey . The skip of Newfoundland and Labrador has a young team with him at the Canadian mens curling championship starting Saturday in Saskatoon. Richard Seymour Jersey . The former Calgary Flames bench boss told The Edmonton Journal on that he has not been asked to coach the Edmonton Oilers and hasnt even had an interview. LOS ANGELES — Kevin Durant stood above the 3-point line and watched the shot clock dwindle in the final seconds of Game 4. When Metta World Peace backed up slightly on defence, Durant hesitated only an instant before launching a 26-footer. “It left my hand, (and) I was thinking, If this doesnt go in, its going to be a terrible shot,” Durant said. The three-time scoring champ trusts his instincts and his silky-smooth jumper. Neither let him down while he and Russell Westbrook engineered yet another late comeback that pushed a frustrated Kobe Bryant to the brink. Westbrook scored 10 of his 37 points during a stirring fourth-quarter rally, Durant added 31 points and hit that tiebreaking 3-pointer with 13.7 seconds left, and the Thunder seized control of their second-round series with a 103-100 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night. Serge Ibaka scored 14 points and the second-seeded Thunder took a 3-1 series lead with a rally from a 13-point deficit in the final 8 minutes, moving one win away from their second straight trip to the Western Conference finals. “Everybody kept fighting,” Westbrook said. “We all believed in each other. Its the playoffs. You cant afford to sit back and wonder about it.” Game 5 is Monday night in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City improved to 7-1 in the post-season with a tenacious rally on the second night of back-to-back games against the Lakers and Bryant, who scored 38 points but struggled in the fourth quarter of Los Angeles fifth loss in seven games. After Durant put the Thunder ahead with his shot-clock-draining 3-pointer, Kobe couldnt match it with 10 seconds left. With a surge that seemed inevitable to the Lakers worried crowd, Durant and Westbrook led the Thunder back with teamwork throughout a 32-point fourth quarter. Bryant was left lamenting the help he didnt get—particularly from four-time All-Star Pau Gasol, who made the unforced turnover that led to Durants decisive 3. “Pau has got to be more aggressive,” Bryant said of Gasol, who managed just 10 points and five rebounds while committing three turnovers. “Hes got to be aggressive, got to shoot the ball, drive to the basket, and he will next game. ... (The turnover was) just a bad read on Paus part. It happens.” The Thunder finished Game 4 on a 22-8 run, punctuated by Durants dramatic 3-pointer and two late free throws from James Harden, who had 12 points. After sweeping Dallas in the first round, the Thunder are one win away from sending home the NBAs last two champions—and in perhaps the greatest measure of the Thunders growth over the two years since the Lakers ushered them out of the first round on the way to their second straight title, nobody seems surprised. “We know no game is over,” Durant said. “Weve witnessed that before. We play hard every possession and live with the results, and we came out on top.” Andrew Bynum had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Lakers, who led 92-81 with 7:45 to play before Westbrook went to work with a furious series of drives to the hoop. The UCLA product scored nine points in just over 2 minutes, and Kendrick Perkins capped the 17-4 run on a putback layup with 1:16 left, putting Oklahoma City up 98-96 with its first lead since the first quarter. After Bryant evened it with two free throws, Westbrook and Pau Gasol then traded turnovers, with Durant swiping Gasols careless pass before burying a straightaway 3-pointer that silenced Staples Center. The Thunder madee 10 of their 15 shots in the final period. Mike Goodson Jersey. “I wish I could sit up here and say how that happened,” Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said. “It just happened.” World Peace had 14 points in the second game of the Lakers first back-to-back playoff games in 13 years. A night after the Lakers got back in the series with a late comeback for a 99-96 victory in Game 3, Los Angeles led for most of the night, but couldnt execute on offence late, struggling for even difficult shots. “We can talk about us offensively, because we had some struggles,” Lakers coach Mike Brown said. “But it comes down to those guys scoring 32 points in the fourth quarter, and I thought they did that very easily. Thats the most disappointing thing.” The game was the third NBA playoff contest in 27 hours at Staples Center, which will host six playoff games in hockey and basketball over a four-day stretch this weekend. With the Los Angeles Kings ice just below the Lakers court, several players appeared to slip and slide on the floor during the game, and Westbrook nearly did the splits at the halftime buzzer when his right foot slipped. “I was a little stiff, but we needed this win,” Westbrook said. Oklahoma City appeared to be unhappy with the floors condition, but Staples Center did nothing different in its changeover, and the referees deemed the floor safe for play. The San Antonio Spurs, on course to meet the Thunder in the conference finals, didnt appear worried about the floor during their win over the Clippers. Bryant shot poorly in the first three games of the series, but went 10 for 18 in the first three quarters of Game 4 before managing only a 2-of-10 effort in the fourth, including a meaningless bucket at the buzzer. “Were all upset and extremely frustrated, (but) I dont think anybody is worried about going into Oklahoma City and getting a win,” Bryant said. “We dont think about winning three in a row.” Jordan Hills offensive rebound and layup put the Lakers up 91-78 with 8 minutes left, but longtime Lakers guard Derek Fisher kick-started Oklahoma Citys comeback with a 3-pointer. After Oklahoma City defended its home court with a blowout win in the opener and a comeback from a seven-point deficit in the final 2 minutes of Game 2, the Lakers finally answered Friday night with their own late rally. Los Angeles took control of Game 4 early on while the Thunder struggled with their shots and their footing. Westbrook slipped near midcourt at the halftime buzzer, his right foot sliding forward when he attempted to stop. He stayed down on the court for an uncomfortably long moment before walking gingerly to the locker room with his hand on his left hip, but got treatment at halftime and returned for the third quarter. The game was Chapter 4 in the four-day extravaganza at Staples Center. The Kings play Game 4 of the Western Conference finals against Phoenix on Sunday afternoon, followed by the Clippers fourth game against San Antonio—all while tens of thousands of fans gather outside to watch the Tour of California, the nations largest cycling race, which finishes on the street outside shortly before the Kings opening faceoff. NOTES: The Lakers hadnt played back-to-back post-season games since the second round in 1999, another season shortened by labour strife. ... Westbrook and Perkins were called for technical fouls for angry reactions to contact with the Lakers point guards. ... Denzel Washington, Allyson Felix and Michelle Kwan attended the game. ’ ’ ’
