baumgartner allowed one more run and gave the giants a chance. barry in deep. homer number three of the year for posey. the diamondbacks changed pitchers and this is how carlos sandoval greeted vasquez. number four in the year for sandoval. it's 5-4. drew did the damage again, he rose to single to right. upton just beats it. the giants forced to use five relievers as they now head to colorado for three against the division leaders. giants put barry zito on the 15 day dl and called in zogelzan from fresno. >>> the a's are not known for locking up their long time players. but they did that this year with kayhill. one thing that helps a pitcher be good is defense. game still scoreless in the second when conner jackson kept it that way. jackson over cabrera. oakland finally broke through in the fourth against penning. first it was jackson drawing a walk with the bases loaded to facing powell. on the very next pitch, willingham drove one in. took a little more effort for eric barton. just slides around the tag by alex avila. the a's in front 4-0. cayhill gets ryan t

baumgartner one run allowed. tejada ends the thing. giants back to a game under .500. they start at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. this is funny. the home of the a's and raiders now known as overstock.com coliseum. the company aquering naming rights. the a's went out and celebrated the naming of their stadium with kevin. 6 errors, having a rough time. that allows the angels life in the 9th. and bobby off brian goes down the line to tie it at 1-1. but the team from overstock.com coliseum comes back. and give them credit. they didn't let the upset. they score a run here. that's it. jackson with a chopper gives the a's a 2-1 win over the angels. sharks-detroit open round 2 friday, 7:00 start. sharks back to work after polishing off the los angeles kings in six games. neyepa will be in goal. 7:00 friday. noon sunday. first two games. best of 7. pair of games 7 tonight. canadiens and bruins. >> good rivalry. i didn't see that. >> rough stuff. overtime. 3-3. nathan horten. boston wins 4-3. they go on to the second round. one play of the next one. tampa pay and pittsburgh. just

second baumgartner, cain, sanchez. >> let's go giants. >> reporter: you are a bandwagon fan. >> most definitely. are you kidding me? how many more are there like me? >> who is tim lincecum? >> i don't think. >> tim who? >> it's not like cricket. i love it. >> dodger fan. >> sucks. especially living up here. >> yeah. we are stuck. >> i am a dodger fan. my whole life. dodger fan. >> is the beer going to take on a new meaning now? >> i think it will. desire to repeat, showing the rest of major league baseball and the rest of the world that the giants are the best team ever and this the beginning of a dynasty. >> giants looked sloppy but they will figure it out. >> it's the first game. they will come back. >> i am sure they will come back tomorrow. >> i am not worry about it. >> we will have the beard coming back soon. >> baseball. win some, lose some. >> we will be on optop. >> reporter: the fans said today was perhaps their favorite day in a long time for the giants but the day they are looking forward to is next friday, that's when the giants open here against st. louis. jonathan bloo

but he probably would fill this position a little better than jonathan baumgartner. that's the way it ended up. the giants had plenty of chances to try to get back in it. here is an example. giants just never could get anything going at all after the early innings and they fail 3- 1. >>> meantime the a's are up in toronto. things going slightly better for them. but their early start has been negated by a late toronto rally. early on it's conner the kid out of cal. that's going to play a couple of his teammates. and the a's get off to a quick lead. andy laroche who had a great spring training. that scores kevin kusminov. but the wheels started to come out. and that had a little to do with it. watch him get up and throw the ball into the surf. allowing roje davis to score. the a's have themselves an inning and wind upcoming out of that inning. we'll have full highlights tonight at 10:00. but the giants have already lost and it ain't looking exactly great for the a's right now. so things are bound to get better. >> but it's still early. >> that's it. way early. >> thank

adding to baumgartner's misery tonight. two dodgers score here, capping a four-run inning. this was a real miss. burrell just hangs his head in shame. and mad baum is out to break something. but the benches are padded. burrow t a 6-1 loss. the giants have lost four of their first five games this year to the dodgers. >> felt great the whole time. felt like i was keeping the ball down pretty good. you know, felt good. i don't know. i don't know. it's hard to explain games like that sometimes. >> made some bad plays out there. and we all have. and, you know, there's no excuse. >>> wednesday, the giants-dodgers series finale right here on nbc bay area. game coverage starts at 7:00 p.m. the as facing the white sox in chicago. mark buehrle and trevor cahill tomorrow. he gets a new five-year $30 million deal. and watches his team rally in the ninth. fir cliff pennington scores on this fly ball gone awry. it goes to the 10th, where suzuki steps in and blasts one to left. pierre can't get this one either. the game-winner in 10. 2-1 as beat the white sox. we have been here before wit

barajas, however, provides the dodgers with a run with a shot off baumgartner. it goes to the wall, dodgers are on the way. burrell hit his 4th home run of the year for the giants to make that 6-1 final. of course, it is always all about pitching. the a's make sure some of the their young talent is sticking around oakland, cahill, winner of 18 last year agrees to a five-year deal for $30 million. another young arm helps oakland to win in chicago. dallas braden, tough six innings. 1-0 until barton to juan pierre, clang, never known for his fielding, that helps the a's tie it 1-1. we go to the 9th, 0-2 pitch to suzuki, delivers the a's a victory. tyson ross gets the win in relief, and out of the bull pen comes brian fuentes for his fourth save and the a's have suddenly won three in a row. of course, when you're not headed in the playoffs, getting psyched up to play the final two games of the schedule, pretty tough. monta ellis out with a concussion, will not play again. didn't tonight, won't in the final game. without him, they didn't stand a lot of a chance to de
