SAN FRANCISCO -- Yoenis Cespedes doesnt feel his timing is all back after a stint on the disabled list. Patrick Mahomes II Womens Jersey .But its hard to imagine its off that much, either.Cespedes hit two long home runs and added an RBI double in his second game back from the disabled list, boosting Bartolo Colon and the New York Mets over the San Francisco Giants 9-5 Saturday.The Mets had lost five of six before topping the team that began the day leading the NL West. The Giants dropped to 11-22 since the All-Star break.Cespedes, whod been out since Aug. 4 with a strained right quadriceps, drove in three runs. He has 24 homers this season.It was his show today, Mets second baseman Neil Walker said. He had a great day.The sluggers shot off Matt Moore (7-10) in the third inning went 457 feet, according to Statcast.com.Cespedes added a 418-footer off reliever Jake Peavy in the seventh.Today was a good day, I think for any ballplayer you could say today was an excellent day, Cespedes said through a translator. I cant say that the timing is 100 percent back, though. Well see what goes on next.The Mets are hoping that whats next for Cespedes is another second-half power surge, like the one he had last season that took them to the World Series.Hes the guy in the lineup who does a lot of the damage, so when hes there it makes it a little easier on the guys behind him and it takes the pressure off, Mets manager Terry Collins said. They kind of feed off what he does.Alejandro De Aza hit a three-run homer during a four-run sixth that stretched the Mets lead to 7-2.Colon (11-7) allowed two runs, scattering nine hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings. He has three quality starts in four outings this month and a 2.25 ERA in August.I think everything worked out well, Colon said through a translator. I was throwing a lot of sinkers, the ball out here moves a lot for me.Colons pitches hit the strike zone with pinpoint accuracy. On a day when the Mets needed the 43-year-old right-hander to go deep into the game with a bullpen taxed, he threw 103 pitches -- 73 for strikes.Hes not worried about lighting up the radar, hes worried about missing barrels, Walker said. It makes it difficult as a hitter when you have to cover a lot of the plate and thats what he does.Moore, acquired at the trading deadline from Tampa Bay to bolster the back end of the Giants rotation, is 0-3 with a 4.70 ERA in four starts with his new team.Moore gave up three earned runs and five hits in five innings. It was the first time in 13 outings he pitched less than six innings going back to June 2.Im not getting ahead of the hitters and then Im losing them, he said. I didnt do a very good job of managing the game with the 90 pitches they gave (me).Denard Span hit a splash home run off Colon into the San Francisco Bay in the third. The home run was Spans seventh and his second splash hit this season.Angel Pagan extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a bunt single in the first. The Giants outfielder exited after three innings with tightness in his right groin.BABY WATCHMets second baseman Neil Walker will fly to his home in Pittsburgh after Sunday nights game to be with his wife Niki for the expected birth of their baby girl. Walker said doctors will induce the birth on Monday night, a Mets off day. Walker said his wife is doing well. Its just been a big waiting game, Walker said. I knew as soon as she got pregnant that wed probably be out here on the West Coast, whether it was here or Arizona or St. Louis, we knew that was going to be challenging.LINED UPThe Giants have set their rotation ahead of their pivotal three-game series at Dodger Stadium next week, with the trio of Madison Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto and Moore set to start the Aug. 23-25 series, manager Bruce Bochy said.TRAINERS ROOMMets: RHP Jim Henderson was activated from the disabled list on Saturday. The hard-throwing setup man had been on the disabled list since June 21 with shoulder tendinitis. In a corresponding move RHP Tyler Goeddel was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas.Giants: Pairing up C Buster Posey with Moore for the first time factored in Bochys decision to start the All-Star catcher in a day game after a night game. Bochy sat Posey for two straight games earlier in the week because of lower back tightness. ... LHP Josh Osich, whos been on the disabled list with a left forearm strain since July 28, could be activated soon. Bochy said the 27-year-old is developing a changeup in a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento.UP NEXTMets: RHP Noah Syndergaard allowed two earned runs in 5 2/3 innings in his most recent outing against Arizona in which he snapped a streak of six straight winless starts. He is 1-2 with a 4.86 ERA in August and 0-2 with a 6.17 ERA in two career starts against the Giants.Giants: RHP Jeff Samardzija is 1-0 with 2.31 ERA in his last two starts but the Giants have won just two of his last nine starts. He is 0-3 with an 11.40 ERA in three starts against New York and has an 8.72 ERA in nine career appearances against the Mets. Tanoh Kpassagnon Chiefs Jersey . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. Kareem Hunt Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. http:///...-hunt-chiefs-jersey/ . Tests earlier this week revealed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain for Sabathia, who was hurt in last Fridays start against San Francisco. Its an injury that will require about eight weeks to heal. He finished a disappointing campaign just 14-13 with a career-worst 4. SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers opened the Chip Kelly era with a dominating win while the Rams are still seeking their first points since moving back to Los Angeles.Carlos Hyde ran for 88 yards and two touchdowns and the San Francisco 49ers posted their first season-opening shutout in franchise history to spoil the return of the Los Angeles Rams with a 28-0 victory Monday night.Its huge any time you can get a conference win, opening night win, quarterback Blaine Gabbert said. Its a big momentum driver for the team.Shaun Draughn also ran for a score and Gabbert threw a touchdown pass to Vance McDonald to help the 49ers win their first game under coach Chip Kelly in convincing fashion.After Los Angeles football fans waited more than 21 years to once again be able to call a team their own, they need to wait at least another week to see that team score.That wasnt what we expected, certainly not what I expected for the first game back in L.A., coach Jeff Fisher said. We have some work to do obviously.Case Keenum threw for just 130 yards with two interceptions, star running back Todd Gurley was held to 47 yards on 17 carries and the Rams barely even threatened the Niners as they were held to 185 yards and 10 first downs all game.This team deserved better play from its quarterback and I intend on doing that, Keenum said.San Francisco wasnt much better offensively but managed to run the ball fairly effectively early, leading to the two first-half touchdowns by Hyde and Draughn.People counted us out before the season even started, Hyde said. We just stayed together as a group and worked together. Its us against the world. We just keep that mindset.STAR EJECTION: Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald was ejected in the fourth quarter when he made contact with an official. The infraction came after Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree gave an extra push to Gabbert following a scramble. As players on both teams started jawing, Donald pushed a 49ers player and then made contact with an official. Donald was called for two personal fouls on the play and ejected.I let my emotions get the best of me, Donald said. No excuses.THIRD DOWN WOES: After convertinng their first third-down try on the opening drive, the Rams came up empty the next 10 times they faced a third down. Patrick Mahomes II Youth Jersey. They finally broke that drought when Keenum completed a 5-yard pass to Tavon Austin on third-and-4 late in the third quarter to get to the San Francisco 27. Two plays later, Keenum negated that good play by throwing his second interception of the game .REPEAT PERFORMANCE: The 49ers opened the Kelly era in a similar fashion to the way they opened last year under first-year coach Jim Tomsula. San Francisco dominated Minnesota 20-3 in the late Monday night opener but won only four other games all season, leading to Tomsulas firing. This win was San Franciscos first shutout since beating the Jets 34-0 in 2012.The credit doesnt go to me, it goes to our defense and defensive staff, Kelly said. We felt good about our defense going into the game, but you never really know until you get in the game. Its something for us to build on.ANTHEM PROTEST: San Franciscos Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid once again kneeled during the national anthem , while a few other players protested by raising their fists. Rams defensive lineman Robert Quinn and receiver Kenny Britt and Niners linebacker Eli Harold and safety Antoine Bethea all held up their fists in protest. Kaepernick came on late with the game out of hand.DOWN DRAFT PICKS: Both the Rams and Niners traded up for first-round picks in April with Los Angeles mortgaging the future to take quarterback Jared Goff first overall and San Francisco trading back into the first round to select guard Joshua Garnett 28th. Neither player even dressed for the opener. Goff was inactive as the third QB for the Rams and Garnett is buried on the depth chart in San Francisco.BACKWARD PASS: On the opening drive of the second half, Gabbert completed a pass to himself when his throw was deflected by T.J. McDonald and he caught it. Unfortunately for the Niners, he was quickly tackled by McDonald for a loss of 16 yards.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
