NEW YORK -- The San Francisco Giants headed into the All-Star break a major league-best 57-33. Jerseys Outlet .They started the second half by skidding on a 1-7 trip to San Diego, Boston and New York that culminated in a 5-2 loss Sunday to the Yankees.Im very excited about to get home, Jeff Samardzija said after dropping to 1-2 with a 7.29 ERA and nine home runs allowed in his last six starts. Obviously, this road trip didnt go the way we wanted it to, but you learn from this. We got some guys who got some playing time. And you use this for the future. The season isnt always going to go the way you want it to from start to finish. So, were going to go home and regroup and put this behind us.Right fielder Hunter Pence (hamstring), second baseman Joe Panik (concussion) and third baseman Matt Duffy (strained Achilles tendon) are sidelined, first baseman Brandon Belt was 2 for 33 (.061) on the trip and shortstop Brandon Crawford 6 for 33 (.182) with no RBI.We had some guys cold with the bat, manager Bruce Bochy said. Well go as they go.San Francisco was 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position Sunday, leaving the NL West leader at 9 for 72 (.125) following the break.Ive got to find the approach to get back on track, Belt said. I feel like a lot of these losses that weve had are on me. Ive had plenty of chances to drive in runs, didnt get the job done.San Franciscos lineup included rookie Mac Williamson in right, Ramiro Pena at second and Conor Gillaspie at third. Rookie Trevor Brown caught to give Buster Posey a day at designated hitter after Saturdays 12-inning win.A makeshift batting order also will be used when the Giants open a homestand Monday against Cincinnati, last in the NL Central at 38-60.You obviously see what happens with the hole in the lineup. Three middle guys arent in the middle of the lineup, Belt said. Obviously, we havent done well this road trip, myself especially. But I dont think the reason is because were putting too much pressure on ourselves. Were just all slumping at the same time.Samardzija (9-6) gave up five runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. He allowed home runs to Carlos Beltran in the first and Mark Teixeira in the second, raising his season total to 19, as New York built a 2-0 lead.New York chased Samardzija in the sixth, when Jacoby Ellsbury grounded into a run-scoring double play, Starlin Castro singled in a run and Didi Gregorius hit an RBI double.Hed make a mistake, and they didnt miss it. Bochy said. But really, he was pitching as well as Ive seen him for three innings. It just got away from him.Nathan Eovaldi (9-6) pitched shutout ball into the seventh. With the Yankees No Runs DMC trio unavailable after two days of heavy use, Chasen Shreve came in and loaded the bases with a walk to Belt, and Posey poked an opposite-field, two-run single to right against Chad Green, who retired Brandon Crawford on a groundout.New York turned a spectacular 4-1-5 inning-ending double play in the eighth. Pena grounded past a diving Teixeira at first but Castro slid on his stomach to come up with the ball on the outfield grass between first and second, sat up and threw to Green covering first. The pitcher then threw to third, where Chase Headley tagged a sliding Williamson.Youve got to play according to the scoreboard, Bochy said. He plays all out. We love his energy and his enthusiasm, but we just cant get thrown out there three runs down with two out.THE OLD DAYSOn a sunny afternoon with a 93-degree game-time temperature, Bochy remembered how players used to deal with heat during his playing days.We wore cabbage leafs in our hat, and some guys put them in your shoes. Its a leaf and you put it right in your hat, and it keeps your head cool, he said. I havent seen that since, I want to say probably `79 or `80. Philadelphia. I remember wearing them there, on the turf.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: Pence was 1 for 3 with an RBI single and grounded into a double play in the first game of Triple-A Sacramentos doubleheader Sunday. ... Panik hasnt played for the Giants since June 27 and has not been on the field for Sacramento since appearances Tuesday and Wednesday. Hes doing all baseball activities, Bochy said. He just feels like its cleared up, so it looks like weve turned the corner on him.UP NEXTGiants: RHP Jake Peavy (5-8) starts Monday for the Giants and Anthony DeSclafani (5-0) for Cincinnati. Peavy is 7-1 in 13 starts against the Reds. Cheap Jerseys . After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year. Wholesale China Jerseys . Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half. Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. http://www.cheapjerseysdiscount.com/ . -- Adam Snyder returned to the San Francisco 49ers this season because the offensive lineman thought it was his best opportunity to win a championship. LONDON -- With Chelsea leaking goals too easily, Antonio Conte didnt have to search far for the solution.The Italian manager merely implemented the tactics that served him well with Juventus and his national team.Chelsea hasnt conceded a goal in the Premier League and has won all four games since Conte removed a defender from its typical four-man back-line. And, with four successive victories since the tactical tinkering, Chelsea has clambered up the standings to join the chasing pack.Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are only separated by goal difference, and Chelsea, which hosts Everton on Saturday, is a point behind. Its some revival for a team that was on its knees last season, when the reigning champions collapsed and Jose Mourinho was fired.Gary Cahill has been featuring on the left of the back three with David Luiz in the center and Cesar Azpilicueta on the right.Every player has worked hard on the shape the manager has brought in and we are getting the rewards, Cahill said. It is all right having the shape. It is also to do with having the players with the mentality to go out and do the business when we need to.We have the flair players to go out and create and score goals, but we also need them to dig in and defend well.The turning point was the Sept. 24 loss to Arsenal, when Chelsea had conceded three goals before halftime. Switching to three at the back for the second half shored up the defense and prevented a heavy defeat. Within weeks, Chelsea was delivering a humbling of its own by beating Manchester United 4-0 in the biggest sign that Contes 3-4-3 is flourishing.The central defenders on the right and the left must be very fast and aggressive, Conte said. The players that play in the middle of the three defenders must be more tactical, must reflect more and find the right position, and also call the line up and down.Saturdays opponent, Everton, is only four points behind Chelsea and in sixth place despite an erratic spell in recent weeks. The highlights have been holding Manchester City to a 1-1 draw and beating West Ham, but losses to Burnley and Bournemouth could prove damaging to Evertons ambitions to qualify for the Europa League.Here are the other talking points this weekend:---NORTH LONDON DIVIDEArsenal and Tottenham head into Sundays derby after a week of contrasts in the Champions League.
