NEW YORK -- The San Francisco Giants headed into the All-Star break a major league-best 57-33.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.Eden Hazard Jersey . Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S. Masters in April.

It worked.DETROIT -- On the way to winning their sixth straight game, the Detroit Tigers found an extra team-bonding moment.The Tigers held an 8-0 lead going into the bottom of the seventh, but sensed that the Houston Astros were upset that both Jose Altuve and George Springer had been hit by pitches.So, when the Astros Scott Feldman hit Cameron Maybin to start the seventh, the Tigers were ready to get revenge in their own way. First, Maybin stole second -- something he would normally never do with an eight-run lead.I believe in playing the game the right way, so I took second to let them know that I knew what was going, he said. After that, I left it up to the big fella, because I knew he had my back.Miguel Cabrera hit Feldmans next pitch into the Astros bullpen for his second homer of the game. That made it a ten-run game, and the Tigers went on to an 11-0 win Sunday.I didnt need to say anything to Feldman -- that was just baseball, said Cabrera, who celebrated a bit more than expected, given the score. Thats how you play the game.The Tigers, who began the day one game behind Boston for the second American League wild-card spot, have now won six straight -- including a sweep at Fenway Park. The win extended Detroits lead over Houston to 1 1/2 games.It is easy to be confident when you have won six in a row, but weve always felt like this team was going to be in the race, said Justin Upton, who also homered for Detroit. This is a really good team, and were getting hot at the same time were getting healthy.Detroit outscored Houston 28-8 in the series.This wasnt our day, it wasnt our weekend and it wasnt our series, Astros manager A.J.

He has now allowed fewer than two runs in five of his last eight starts.Pelfrey, though, was forced out by tightness in his back, and was having an MRI after the game.Dallas Keuchel (6-11) took the loss, allowing seven runs and seven hits in five innings, walking three and striking out four.Two days after scoring nine runs in the first two innings off Collin McHugh, the Tigers were all over Keuchel. Seven of the first eight batteers reached base, capped off by McCanns grand slam to make it 6-0.dddddddddddd Only Maybin getting thrown out on the bases kept the defending Cy Young winner from giving up more runs in the inning.A couple tough-luck plays kind of extended that inning, and then I elevated a pitch to McCann, Keuchel said. That was the difference maker.The Astros loaded the bases in the third, but Pelfrey got out of the jam by retiring Carlos Correa on a broken-bat grounder to third. Houston had them loaded again in the seventh, but Bruce Rondon struck out Correa.Cabrera made it 7-0 with a fifth-inning homer off Keuchel, and Mike Aviles added an eighth run in the next inning. He doubled off Scott Feldman and scored on Jose Iglesiass one-out sacrifice fly.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: 1B Marwin Gonzalez (hand) and OF Carlos Gomez (hamstring) were both out of the starting lineup, leaving OF Jake Marisnick as the only healthy position player on Houstons bench.
