LOS ANGELES -- One by one, Los Angeles Dodgers opponents are learning the perils of challenging Yasiel Puig. The rookie sensation hit his seventh home run in 20 major league games and added a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning against Madison Bumgarner, leading the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night. "Yasiel is a phenomenal talent right now," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said. "The leagues trying to figure him out and theyre trying to see what the best way to approach him is. But hes making them go back and scratch their heads a lot, because hes hitting everything and hitting it hard. Im just really happy hes on our side. The way he plays the game is just infectious, and the energy he brings to our lineup is something that was sorely missed. Nick Punto, who replaced third baseman Juan Uribe in a double switch, led off the eighth with an opposite-field double down the right-field line. Mark Ellis sacrificed Punto to third and reached safely when Bumgarner threw high to first for an error. Puig greeted George Kontos with a line-drive single to left that scored Punto. "Hes someone who really thrives in the moment," A.J. Ellis said. "One of my best friends in baseball is the Double-A manager for the Diamondbacks, Andy Green. And when I called him and asked him what he thought about Puig, the thing that impressed him the most was that Puig never shied away from the big stage. It seemed like his best at-bats in a game came in the late stages and those clutch situations. And were seeing that right now. Theres no secret that he loves the spotlight." Hanley Ramirez drove in the final run two batters later on a liner toward the middle that shortstop Brandon Crawford knocked down with a lunging attempt before getting the out at first. Kontos was recalled from Triple-A Fresno before the game, while Jean Machi was sent back to the Giants Pacific Coast League club. Kontos was optioned to the minors on June 11, the day he received a three-game suspension for throwing at Pittsburghs Andrew McCutchen. But since he is appealing the penalty, Kontos is eligible to play until his case is heard by Major League Baseball. Paco Rodriguez (2-2) got two outs and Kenley Jansen worked the ninth for his fifth save. The Dodgers third straight victory tied their longest winning streak this season, which came back in early April. This was their ninth attempt at matching it. "Weve been trying to get over this three-game hump for a while, so it was important for us to break through today," A.J. Ellis said. "We just want to carry the momentum into tomorrow." Bumgarner (7-5) was charged with three runs -- two earned -- and five hits in seven-plus innings with five strikeouts in his 100th big league start. The 23-year-old left-hander engaged in another tense duel with Hyun-Jin Ryu in a rematch of their April 2 meeting, when Bumgarner spoiled the Korean-born leftys major league debut with eight innings of two-hit ball and retired 18 consecutive batters during a 3-0 win at Dodger Stadium. Ryu allowed a run, eight hits and four walks in 6 2-3 innings. He was lifted by manager Don Mattingly after Buster Posey reached second on a fly to right field that Puig was just about to catch when his backside made contact with the auxiliary scoreboard and the ball fell behind him. The play was originally ruled an error, then changed to a double by official scorer Don Hartack. Ronald Belisario then came on and struck out Hunter Pence. The Giants began a 10-game road trip with a familiar face back in the lineup: Pablo Sandoval was reinstated from the disabled list Monday after missing 14 games because of a left foot strain. He went 2 for 4. Puig drove a 1-1 pitch the other way into the lower seats in the right-field corner with one out in the first. "Its pretty amazing the way he handles that ball away," A.J. Ellis said. "He loves to extend those arms and hes got so much power, foul pole to foul pole. Its another thing that makes him such a rare talent." The home run ended Bumgarners 16-inning scoreless streak against the Dodgers, and was their only hit until Puigs two-out single in the sixth. "I feel like every pitch I made to Puig, I threw where I wanted to and just mixed it up on him," Bumgarner said. "He got me the first at-bat and I didnt expect him to do that. Hes obviously good, or else he wouldnt be doing what hes doing. Its going to take everybody a couple of times facing him to see what hes trying to do. I think its pretty clear what hes trying to do, but its just a matter of seeing him a few more times." The Giants tied it in the second inning with an RBI double inside third base by Andres Torres that scored Joaquin Arias from first base -- but Arias strained his left hamstring on the play and came out of the game. Crawford, who replaced Arias at shortstop, flied out with the bases loaded to end the third after Ryu got a visit from pitching coach Rick Honeycutt. The Giants had the bases loaded again in the fifth, but only because Posey slipped and fell rounding third base on a one-out single by Sandoval before scampering back to the bag. Crawford followed with a comebacker to Ryu, who calmly threw to the plate to begin an inning-ending double play. "He realizes the key situations of the game, and when he needs a groundball and when he needs a strikeout," A.J. Ellis said. "I mean, this guys pitched on the worlds stage forever, and hes had bigger games than this and was representing a lot more people than just us. It was a great performance by him to keep us in the game. Getting that big double-play ball from Crawford on the comebacker, that was the biggest at-bat of the game." NOTES: Puig was 3 for 4 in his first game against the rival Giants. ... Pence was 2 for 2 with a walk against Ryu, and has six hits in eight at-bats against the lefty overall. ... Ryu is 0-1 with a 2.73 ERA in four starts since beating the Angels 3-0 with a two-hitter for his first major league complete game. Ryan Jensen Buccaneers Jersey .

Does anybody care? Babcock asked. Does anybody know who won the gold medal?Going undefeated through the tournament in February, Babcocks group lived up to and surpassed the expectations and pressure created after the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, where Canada also captured the gold.The 2010 team, we won, we got it done, and that was a special, special team, too, and it faced a different kind of pressure, Babcock said in a recent interview. This (2014) team was machine-like. It just was going to win, period.Team Canada rolled over Norway and Austria and beat Finland in overtime in pool play. It overcame a superhuman effort from goaltender Kristers Gudlevskis to beat Latvia in the quarter-finals, then dominated the United States and Sweden to capture the gold medal for the third time in the past four Olympics.That was more than enough to earn the Canadian Press Team of the Year honours for 2014, as voted by sports editors and broadcasters across the country. The mens hockey team was a runaway winner, receiving 36 votes, well ahead of 10 for the womens bobsled duo of Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse and nine for the womens Olympic hockey team.The Olympic mens hockey team was the best Canada has ever fielded, said Sean Rooney, sports editor at the Medicine Hat News. It wasnt that they had more talent, its that they played a disciplined style of game that took advantage of the talent they had.This group wasnt short on talent. Up front there was Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and enough depth that Team Canada didnt miss a beat when John Tavares went out with a knee injury. On the blue-line, Shea Weber and Drew Doughty were the leading scorers as defencemen carried the offence.Team Canada outscored opponents 17-3, but its most convincing victory may have been a 1-0 victory over the U.S. in the semifinals.I dont think the scores of the games were indicative, general manager Steve Yzerman said. I think our team played better than the scores. Defensively they were very, very good. Offensively they generated a ton of chances, just werent able to get more pucks in the net.Better than any team in recent Olympic history, this group was masterful at keeping the puck. As Babcock said, the other team cant score if it doesnt have the puck.When opponents did get it, goaltender Carey Price was there. In his five games, Price had a 0.59 goals-against average and .972 save percentage.He gave us confidence every time he was in the net, Babcock said. He never got the other team going by giving up a rebound or giving up a bad goal. He was just steady Eddie and he seemed to really enjoy it and embrace the moment. I thought he was spectacular.Just about everything Team Canada did was spectacular, starting with ball hockey at its summer orientation camp through a 3-0 rout of Sweden in the final. There was strife along the way, including Steven Stamkos breaking his leg and Martin St. Louis being left off the initial roster before replacing his Tampa Bay Lightning teammate.But none of that stopped Team Canada, which Yzerman meticulously designed to get the job done on the same international-sized ice that felled the Canadians iin 2006.dddddddddddd(Yzerman) gave me all the reasons why we were going to be that much better than we were in Vancouver, former Hockey Canada president and CEO Bob Nicholson said. Everything that he talked about that day, he did it in spades with the management group and with Mike Babcock. We were just so well prepared, we learned from 2010 to make us even that much better in 2014.In Vancouver, Team Canada overcame early struggles amid the pressure of playing on home ice to make a run to the gold-medal game. Crosby then scored the overtime winner that a generation of Canadian hockey fans will never forget.Crosby scored just one goal during the Sochi Olympics and endured some criticism for that back home. While the captain played stellar defence and kept opponents top defenders busy, the likes of Jeff Carter and Jamie Benn took care of the goals.Hes not worried about that, hes worried about winning, Babcock said. I just think Toews and him, you go through it: Our group down the middle was spectacular to say the least. Getzy, John Tavares before he got hurt and then (Matt) Duchene. The group was incredible down the middle and they were committed defensively.The best defence in Sochi was an offence that held the puck in the offensive zone and wore down opponents. Yzerman credited Babcock for creating a game plan that was well-suited to the kind of international hockey Canada was forced to play.I think methodical is a very good word, but not to the point where it was prohibiting them from making plays, Yzerman said. It was just: Were playing against the best players in the world and its one-game elimination. We cant just run and gun, were trying to take the chance out of it.Team Canada left little to chance. It needed an overtime goal from Doughty to beat Finland and then Benn to score on a redirection against Jonathan Quick and the U.S., but the star-studded bunch was more or less a buzzsaw.Lionel Wild, sports co-ordinator at the Vancouver Sun, said Team Canada met the high expectations, handled the pressure of being defending champions in Russia (and) locked down their opponents with superb defensive team play. All their NHL stars bought in to a collective effort.Babcock was proud of how the team continued to get better over two weeks. The progression was noticeable and the result was a Canadian mens hockey team winning in Russia some 42 years after the 1972 Summit Series.I think we really enjoyed ourselves, enjoyed the competition, understood how tough it was and understood the obligation we had to Canadians as well, Babcock said. Great, great, great experience to get the opportunity to follow up on what we did in Canada, to follow it up in Russia. Understanding the 72 Series and all that stuff and all the history was special.And the way this group played created a template for future teams to follow. Its not old-school, rock em sock em Canadian hockey, but its a new version of that.Skill and speed are so valuable, a great asset, and then asking the players to play a specific way, and its not really go out and run teams and try and out-physical them, Yzerman said. I think we were strong, but the emphasis wasnt on physical dominance. The emphasis was on speed, skill and playing a disciplined game.Tennis stars Milos Raonic and Eugenie Bouchard captured the male and female athlete of the year honours for 2014.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter Wholesale MLB Orioles Jerseys Red Sox Jerseys From China Discount Yankees Jerseys Online Rays Jerseys For Sale Blue Jays Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB White Sox Jerseys Indians Jerseys For Sale Tigers Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB Astros Jerseys Cheap Baseball Angels Jerseys Athletics Jerseys From China Mariners Jerseys For Sale Cheap Baseball Rangers Jerseys Braves Jerseys For Sale Discount Marlins Jerseys Online Discount Mets Jerseys Online Phillies Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB Nationals Jerseys Cubs Jerseys From China Discount Reds Jerseys Online Brewers Jerseys From China Wholesale MLB Pirates Jerseys Wholesale MLB Cardinals Jerseys Diamondbacks Jerseys For Sale Rockies Jerseys For Sale Discount Dodgers Jerseys Online Discount Padres Jerseys Online Giants Jerseys For Sale ' ' '
