SAN FRANCISCO -- Johnny Cueto didnt see much significance in facing the New York Mets for the first time since Game 2 of last years World Series.Getting the struggling Giants back on track and into first place in the NL West was far more important to the All-Star pitcher.With San Franciscos suddenly rejuvenated offense providing plenty of help, Cueto accomplished both tasks.Cueto pitched seven effective innings and ended his six-start winless streak, and the Giants broke away late from the Mets 8-1 Friday night.This is where were going to see what kind of team we have, Cueto said through a translator after San Franciscos second straight win. This is when all the hitters and pitchers have to come together. We have to grind it out until the end.Cueto (14-3) allowed one run and eight hits, walking none and striking out two.The last time he saw the Mets was in October, when he beat them with a two-hitter while pitching for Kansas City.Denard Span had four hits and Conor Gillaspie homered as the Giants won their second straight over the Mets and moved back ahead of the Dodgers for the NL West lead. Pinch-hitter Ehire Adrianza singled to break a 1-all tie in the seventh.San Francisco has scored 18 runs with 32 hits in the last two days against the Mets.I know we went through a tough stretch but theyre good hitters, manager Bruce Bochy said. It gives you a margin of error, a little cushion. Its important when you can add on.Curtis Granderson homered and Jose Reyes added four hits for the Mets.Before the game, New York activated Yoenis Cespedes and Asdrubal Cabrera from the 15-day disabled list with the hopes they could provide a boost for the Mets slumping offense.They each went 1 for 4, and Cabreras throwing error from shortstop help the Giants score five times in the eighth.When you go through bad stretches it is everything, Mets manager Terry Collins said. You look at different things -- a couple of baserunning blunders, a couple of errors there, then all of a sudden the bullpen.The lack of hits offset a mostly strong outing from Seth Lugo (0-2) in his first major league start.Pressed into duty when Steven Matz was scratched late Thursday with a sore left shoulder, Lugo allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings. He struck out two and walked one.The Giants chased Lugo with two runs in the seventh then put it away in the eighth.SPLASH DOWNGranderson homered into McCovey Cove with two outs in the second, his second home run in four games and 20th this season. Its the second time Granderson has reached the waters at AT&T Park and it marked the 40th time an opposing player has done it, including the playoffs.PAGAN CONTINUES STREAKAngel Pagan singled in the sixth to extend his hitting streak to 17 games, the longest active mark in the majors. Its three games shy of his career high set in 2012.TRAINERS ROOMMets: Matz will fly back to New York on Sunday and will have his sore left shoulder examined on Monday. ... LHP Josh Smoker made his major league debut in the eighth inning after being called up from the minors earlier in the day. He gave up two hits and a run while getting one out. ... To make room for the three newcomers, the Mets optioned infielders T.J. Rivera, Ty Kelly and pitcher Josh Edgin to Triple-A Las Vegas. ... Second baseman Neil Walker (back) was held out for the fourth straight game.UP NEXTMets: Bartolo Colon (10-7) makes his first start against San Francisco since 2012 when he was pitching for Oakland. The right-hander is coming off a rough outing against Arizona when he lasted a season-low four innings.Giants: Left-hander Matt Moore (0-2) pitches the third game of the series seeking his first win since being traded from Tampa Bay. He has allowed nine runs over 18 innings with San Francisco. Jaguars Jerseys Online . To the surprise of many, it isnt the Wolverines but their in-state rivals the Michigan State Spartans.

Leon Jacobs Jersey . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. SAN FRANCISCO -- Colorado Rockies right-hander Tyler Chatwood will be seeking a piece of individual glory while stalling a rivals pursuit of a playoff berth when he faces the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night.Chatwood ranks among the major-league leaders in road winning percentage (7-1, .875) and road ERA (1.88) as he prepares for his final start of the season.A win against the Giants would allow the 26-year-old to tie Rich Hill of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Stephen Strasburg of the Washington Nationals and Aaron Sanchez of the Toronto Blue Jays -- all 8-1 (.889) -- for the top road winning percentage in baseball.Chatwood also has a chance to pass Hill (1.74) for the lead in road ERA. It would take six shutout innings to lower the fifth-year Rockys mark below 1.74.Holding the Giants without an earned run for six or more innings would not be a first for Chatwood this season. He limited San Francisco to one unearned run on four hits over seven innings in a 5-2 win in Colorado on May 27.Chatwood also beat the Giants 7-3 the only time he faced them in San Francisco, on July 5. He allowed three hits and two runs (one earned) in five innings that day.A third win over San Francisco would be a major blow to its playoff hopes. The Giants (83-74) will take the field Wednesday night sandwiched between the New York Mets (84-74) and St. Louis Cardinals (82-75) in the battle for two wild-card spots in the National League.All three contenders totaled 12 runs in wins Tuesday.I told Bam Bam (hitting coach Hensley Meulens): They responded to the challenge, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said of thee Mets and Cardinals, who played earlier games than the Giants.dddddddddddd. They put up big numbers. I told him, Its up to you.He accepted the challenge, I guess.The Giants exploded for 19 hits, their most in a home game this season, in a 12-3, series-opening win.San Francisco right-hander Jeff Samardzija also will have a personal incentive when he pitches the middle game of the three-game series.The start will be Samardzijas last of the season; and, if the rotation holds, hed be the next man up after Sundays finale. That would put him in place to start Wednesdays wild-card game, should the Giants get there.That said, Bochy announced Tuesday that Johnny Cueto has recovered from a groin injury and will start Thursdays series finale against the Rockies. He also would have ample rest (five days) to start next Wednesday.One more quality start from Samardzija and it might be hard to keep him out of the wild-card game. He has allowed just nine hits and one run in 13 2/3 innings during his last two starts, striking out 13.Among the Rockies hell have to deal with Wednesday night is D.J. LeMahieu, who is dueling Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy for the NL batting title.LeMahieu, who singled in his last at-bat Tuesday to go 1-for-4, will take a .349-.347 advantage into Wednesdays action.As Rockies star Nolan Arenado observed last week, The thing about D.J. is he always has competitive at-bats. He never gives up an at-bat. And now hes better than ever.
