SAN DIEGO -- As much as the San Francisco Giants have been through since the All-Star break, with all the blown leads and the offensive struggles, it would have been gut-wrenching if they hadnt pulled out a victory the way they did Saturday night against the lowly San Diego Padres.The Giants blew a six-run lead before scoring three times in the 10th inning, including a two-run home run by Denard Span, to beat the San Diego Padres 9-6 and pull even with the New York Mets atop the NL wild-card standings.Youre proud of the guys, manager Bruce Bochy said.You give up a six- run lead and they come back and tie it, thats tough to take, especially in our situation. Theyre all must-wins. Youve got your guy out there and couldnt hold on. That can be so frustrating.The Giants, who had given Madison Bumgarner a 6-0 lead before the left-hander allowed three home runs, pulled into a wild-card tie with the Mets, who lost 10-8 to the Philadelphia Phillies. The St. Louis Cardinals are a half-game back after beating the Chicago Cubs 10-4.Angel Pagan started the winning rally for the Giants when he singled to center off Kevin Quackenbush (7-7) leading off the 10th. Ehire Adrianza sacrificed him before Kelby Tomlinson singled to right. Renfroe booted the ball, allowing Pagan to score. Span followed with his 11th homer.Will Smith (2-4) pitched one-third of an inning for the win. Sergio Romo came on with a runner on first and no outs in the 10th. He struck out rookie Manuel Margot and allowed Alexi Amaristas single before Wil Myers grounded into a game-ending double play for his third save.Bumgarner allowed five runs and four hits in six innings, struck out five and walked one. He also doubled twice and scored one run.Man, thats a tough one, Bumgarner said. I was thinking, thats the best I felt all year, by far, best stuff, best command, everything was there, good as I could hope for it to be. Just kind of a weird one.It was a really big win for us.Bumgarners strikeout of Jon Jay in the fourth inning marked his 245th this season, surpassing Cy Seymours 118-year-old franchise single-season record for a left-hander.Thats not what Im here for, but its pretty special to get the opportunity to do that, he said.He didnt make many mistakes, whatd he give up, four hits, three of them home runs? Bochy said. It looked like the same pitch on all of them. He didnt quite get where he wanted, but they took advantage of it. But he was throwing well, four hits, thats a pretty good outing, except for three of them left the park.The Giants staked Bumgarner to a 6-0 lead before he allowed the first Padres hit, Renfroes first career home run, with two outs in the fourth.The Padres continued to claw back on Derek Norris two-run homer in the fifth, his 14th, and Adam Rosales two-run shot with two outs in the sixth, his 12th, that cut the Giants lead to 6-5.San Diego tied the franchise record of 172 home runs (1972).Hunter Strickland came on and blew the save when rookie Manuel Margot singled to center for his first big league hit and RBI.Down 6-0 off Madison Bumgarner, you usually lose that baseball game, Padres manager Andy Green said. Probably about every time in his career theyve probably held on and won that baseball game. We were right there on the cusp of winning it. We had every chance to and our guys fought hard. The fight was really good. You obviously want to come out on top.Yangervis Solarte, who returned to the Padres a week after his wife, Yuliett, 31, died of cancer, started the seventh-inning rally with a pinch single with two outs. He pointed to the sky after rounding first. Solarte advanced on a wild pitch and was replaced by pinch-runner Travis Jankowski, who then scored the tying run on Margots single. Margots hit came two pitches after a foul ball bounced off the ground and hit him in the forehead.Padres starter Jarred Cosart left with right elbow inflammation after allowing three runs on three hits and two walks in the first inning. Joe Panik hit a two-run single and Pagan had an RBI base hit.Jose Dominguez then gave up three runs in the fourth, on three hits and a walk.Nunez, the Giants third baseman, made a terrific play in the second. Catcher Buster Posey lost rookie Carlos Asuajes pop foul in the lights. Nunez saw his catcher in trouble and came racing in to make the catch, with his momentum carrying him into the net behind the plate.That was really fun to see our team fight like that, Nunez said. That was a big, huge win today.UP NEXTGiants: Rookie Ty Blach (0-0, 0.00) will make his first career start on Sunday in place of Johnny Cueto, who left his start Tuesday night with a strained groin.Padres: LHP Clayton Richard (3-3, 2.98) is scheduled to make his eighth start for San Diego and 35th overall.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After Gonzaga upped its season-opening winning streak to 10 games on Dec. 10 with a 61-43 win over Akron, coach Mark Few didnt sound like someone ready to bask in the glow.I live for the next game, he said. I dont spend a lot of time looking back.Fews next game takes him to a venue known more for hockey -- Bridgestone Arena, home of the Nashville Predators. The No. 8 Bulldogs and Tennessee will meet Sunday in yet another test against a top 10 foe for the Volunteers (6-4) and the last stiff non-conference contest for Gonzaga (10-0).Aside from an opening night loss to Chattanooga, the preseason favorite to win the Southern Conference, the list of Tennessee losses reads like a whos who of college basketball royalty. The Volunteers fell to then-No. 16 Wisconsin and No. 13 Oregon before Thanksgiving in Maui, then suffered a tough 73-71 loss last Sunday at No. 7 North Carolina after leading for most of the game.This game also gives the Vols an opportunity for some revenge on the Bulldogs, who beat them 89-79 last December in Seattle.Theyre a terrific team, second-year Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said. Theyre always good, but people that see them a lot tell me theyre Final Four good. Its a good opportunity, and well see what we can do.The Vols are coming off a 92-77 win Thursday night over Lipscomb, outscoring it 43-19 in the second half after allowing 11 3-pointers in the first half. Freshman forward Grant Williams was the spark offensively with a career-high 30 points.Williams performance came a day after Barnes told him that he was disappointed beccause he was drifting outside too often offensively and not staying in the post.ddddddddddddHe expects more out of me and I should do a better job of that, Williams said. Bringing it every night is something I should be doing and need to do a better job with.Williams is Tennessees second-leading scorer at 10.7 points per game while guard Robert Hubbs is pacing the team in scoring (16.5 ppg) and rebounding (5.1). Lamonte Turner is contributing 10.1 points for the Vols, who are averaging 80.2 points and canning nearly 77 percent at the foul line.Gonzaga counters with great balance and depth. All five starters average at least 9.4 points. led by guard Nigel Williams-Goss (13.4 ppg, 4.7 assists). Center Przemek Karnowski tallies 12.4 points and point guard Josh Perkins averages 11.7, sinking 22 of 41 3-pointers.The Bulldogs also get 10 points per game off the bench from 7-0 freshman Zach Collins, whos canning almost 70 percent of his field goal attempts, and are averaging 82.7 points despite their season-low output against Akron.Few wasnt terribly upset with having to engage in a half-court grinder against the Zips. After all, his team figures to face that style of play more than a few times in the West Coast Conference when they arent dueling No. 20 St. Marys or high-octane BYU.They push you to the limit physically, Few said of Akron. They are a heck of a program. We didnt let our frustrations on offense bleed over to the defensive side.
