SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants needed four innings to figure out Cleveland starter Zach McAllister. Hunter Pence hit a two-run single in San Franciscos four-run fifth, leading the Giants to a 5-3 victory over the Indians on Saturday. "That one inning, it just got contagious," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. McAllister (3-1) retired 12 in a row before Michael Morse led off the fifth with a single to centre. Morse advanced to third on Brandon Crawfords one-out single and scored on Gregor Blancos pinch-hit single that came on a first-pitch fastball. "Coming off the bench, its not that easy to do," Blanco said. "In that situation to get a pinch hit and drive one in ... you just got to be aggressive." Angel Pagan had a sacrifice fly before Pences two-out hit gave the Giants a 4-3 lead. McAllister left after Brandon Belt struck out to end the inning. He allowed five hits, struck out six and walked one after winning his previous three starts. Buster Posey added a solo homer in the sixth as San Francisco earned its third consecutive win. Posey, who won the NL MVP award in 2012, went 1 for 3 and is batting .103 (4 for 39) over his last 13 games. "I was happy for Buster," Bochy said. "You go through these tough streaks and its not easy." Giants starter Tim Lincecum lasted just 4 2-3 innings, but managed to lower his ERA to 5.96. He was charged with three runs, two earned, and nine hits. "We did a really good job of making (Lincecum) work," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "We just werent able to get that one more hit to tack on." Lincecum has pitched just 25 2-3 innings in five starts in his first season since he signed a $35 million, two-year contract over the winter. "I had my game plan. I just wasnt executing it," Lincecum said. "That kind of exacerbated the feeling of hopelessness, I guess. Well, not hopelessness, but just things arent going right. Fix that tomorrow." But San Francisco continued to get strong work from its bullpen. Juan Gutierrez (1-1), Jean Machi, Jeremy Affeldt and Sergio Romo combined for 4 1-3 hitless innings after Lincecum departed. Romo got three outs for his sixth save in six chances as San Franciscos bullpen lowered its MLB-best home ERA to 0.45 in 11 games. "Very impressive," Bochy said. "They won the game for us today with the job they did." Bochy went out of his way to praise Gutierrez for striking out Yan Gomes with the bases loaded to end the fifth inning. Michael Bourn, Nick Swisher and David Murphy had two hits apiece for Cleveland. Jason Kipnis drove in two runs. Cleveland scored in the first, third and fifth to build a 3-0 lead. Kipnis singled in Bourn in the first and drove in Swisher with a grounder in the third. Swisher doubled home Bourn in the fifth. Saturday marked the 257th straight regular-season sellout at AT&T Park, matching the National League record set by the Philadelphia Phillies from July 7, 2009 to Aug. 5, 2012. Up next on the MLB sellout streak list is the Indians, who sold out Jacobs Field 455 times from June 12, 1995 to April 2, 2001. NOTES: The Giants have now started off interleague play with two consecutive wins against the Indians after going 6-14 in 2013, the second-worst mark in MLB. ... McAllister registered his first career hit in the second inning with a single to right field. ... Giants Hall of Famer Willie Mays helped escort 3-year-old Cody Harrington to the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. ...

Julio Jones Womens Jersey . Brad Malone had the other goal for the Monsters (1-1-0), while Elliott chipped in an assist for a three-point night and the games first star.

New signing Yohan Cabaye came on as a second-half substitute and headed Ezequiel Lavezzis cross against the post in the 87th. Moments later, Lucas set up another goal from the right when fellow countryman Alex turned in his corner with a strikers finish.Couturier does it all for the Flyers, Perry has a hat trick, Scrivens saves the Oilers and more in Scott Cullen’s Statistically Speaking. HEROES Sean Couturier, C, Philadelphia – Helped the Flyers to a 5-3 win at Pittsburgh, scoring a goal and two assists, matched up for much of the game against Sidney Crosby - who was held without a point, incidentally - and Couturier started most (71.4%) of his even-strength shifts in the defensive zone. Corey Perry, RW, Anaheim – Three goals, in the Ducks’ 4-1 win, was too much for the Sabres to keep up with. Perry had seven shot attempts (6 SOG) in the game and is now tied with Rick Nash for the league goals-scoring lead, with eight. Ben Scrivens, G, Edmonton – stopped 32 of 34 shots, including 13 in the third period, to defeat the Washington Capitals 3-2. In Scrivens’ first three appearances this year, he stopped 56 of 70 shots (.800 SV%); in the next three, he’s saved 82 of 87 shots (.943 SV%). ZEROES Buffalo Sabres – Maybe they should be given credit for breaking their scoreless drought, when C Tyler Ennis found the net with 5:06 remaining in the third period at Anaheim, but one goal in three games is hardly worthy of praise. Through seven games, the Sabres have scored eight goals and are shooting 4.9% as a team. Jordan Eberle, RW, Edmonton – Generated one shot attempt (missed the net) in 19:30 against Washington and was beaten down in possession (7 shot attempts for, 22 against, 24.dddddddddddd%). Craig Adams, RW, Pittsburgh – It isn’t so much that Adams had a zero Corsi Wednesday against Philadelphia, because he played all of 6:13 at even strength, but it’s a continuation of a recent bad run that includes three shot attempts for and 14 against (17.6%) in the past three games. PLUS/MINUS Capitals D John Carlson scored a goal and registered a team-leading seven shot attempts (3 SOG)…Ducks G Fredrik Andersen stopped 22 of 23 shots by the Sabres and has a .951 save percentage in six starts… Brayden Schenn, C, Philadelphia had a strong possession game (13 shot attempts for, 1 against, 92.9%) at Pittsburgh…Penguins C Brandon Sutter was minus-4 despite having a solid possession game (12 shot attempts for, 9 against, 57.1%)…Oilers D Jeff Petry played more than 20 minutes, but did register six giveaways. FIRSTS 29-year-old Flyers C Pierre-Edouard Bellemare scored his first career goal, and put five shots on goal, while playing 15:49 at Pittsburgh. LINEUP NEED TO KNOW Capitals C Jay Beagle got into his first game of the season, played 15:47, and had strong possession stats (19 shot attempts for, 8 against, 70.4%) at Edmonton.
