San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andres Torres capped his four-hit day
with a deep bases-loaded single in the 10th inning, lifting the Giants to a
10-9 win over the Florida Marlins at AT&T Park.
Torres added a two-run homer and Juan Uribe had three hits and drove in four
runs for San Francisco, which is putting pressure on NL West-leading San Diego
by winning six of its last seven games. Buster Posey extended his hitting
streak to 21 games for the Giants, who won despite blowing a 9-2 lead after
six innings.
Dan Uggla homered for the sixth time in as many games and tied the contest
with an RBI double with two outs in the ninth inning. He has 143 homers for
his career, tying the Marlins team record set by Mike Lowell. Pinch-hitter
Donnie Murphy added a three-run homer and Ronny Paulino clubbed a solo shot
for the Marlins.
Hanley Ramirez singled and Logan Morrison doubled with one out in the ninth
inning. A groundout by Gaby Sanchez scored Ramirez with two outs. Uggla,
facing a 3-2 count against closer Brian Wilson, slugged a ground-rule double
to the gap in left-center field. Pinch-hitter Wes Helms struck out swinging to
end the inning.
The Giants had a rally thwarted in the bottom of the ninth after putting two
men on base, but capitalized in the 10th against Clay Hensley (1-4). Aaron
Rowand singled to left field and Edgar Renteria followed by hitting a ball
that bounced off the chest of third baseman Murphy. Nate Schierholtz singled
sharply to right field and Torres followed by taking the first pitch deep to
left-center field to end the game.
Jonathan Sanchez was charged with seven hits and five runs over six-plus
innings, but fanned seven batters in the start for the Giants. Chris Ray (2-0)
picked up the victory by retiring the side in order in the top of the 10th.
Florida's Alex Sanabia was shelled for nine hits and seven runs over two-plus
innings.
The Giants totaled six hits in the first inning, including RBI singles from
Aubrey Huff and Rowand, and a two-run base hit from Uribe.
Morrison doubled in Ramirez in the third, but the Giants got a two-run triple
from Uribe in the bottom of the frame, and he then scored on a Jorge Sosa wild
pitch.
Paulino homered in the fourth, but Torres went deep in the sixth to provide
the 9-2 margin.
Murphy homered off Sanchez in the seventh, and Uggla went deep against Denny
Bautista later in the inning to get the visitors within 9-7.
Game Notes
The Giants have won 18 games so far this month and with two more victories,
they'll have their first 20-win month since September 2000...Posey's streak is
the second-longest by a rookie in San Francisco-era history behind Hall of
Famer Willie McCovey's 22-gamer in 1959. Benito Santiago holds the major
league rookie record for hitting safely in 34 straight games in 1987. The
longest consecutive game hitting streak in San Francisco era history (since
1958) is held by Jack Clark, who hit safely in 26 games in 1978...San
Francisco swept a three-game set from the Marlins earlier in the year and
has won seven of the last nine meetings in the series.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
