The San Francisco Giants� rookies

SAN DIEGO (AP) � got the better of the San Diego Padres� youngsters in a matchup of NL West teams playing out the season.While veterans Brandon Crawford and Evan Longoria homered off Bryan Mitchell in the Giants� 4-2 win Monday Bert Blyleven Jersey , three rookies had nice nights. Left-hander Andrew Suarez pitched into the eighth inning, Chris Shaw had his first three-hit game and Aramis Garcia added an RBI single.�They did a great job, starting with Suarez,� manager Bruce Bochy said.Suarez (7-11) snapped a two-start skid by holding San Diego to two runs and four hits while striking out four and walking three in 7 2/3 innings.�He had a good fastball going, good movement on it. Really all his pitches, very efficiently,� Bochy said. �Shaw, nice game by him, big hit by Garcia. It was good to see those kids play well.�Suarez has gone at least six innings in five straight starts. He thought he had a good chance of finishing the eighth.�My pitch count was low for being that deep in the game,� he said. �I just think it�s more my mechanics. I think I do a good routine in between starts to stay strong and ready for my start date.�Suarez looked disappointed when Bochy came out to pull him. Suarez said he thought he showed up his manager, so he apologized.�He liked it that I was being competitive,� Suarez said.Will Smith pitched the ninth for his 13th save.The rebuilding Padres dropped to 60-91 to match last year�s loss total with 11 games to play. Ownership had expected the Padres to be better than the club that finished 71-91 last year, but San Diego has lost at least 91 games for the third straight season and the fourth time in eight years.Mitchell (1-4) had pitched well in his two previous starts since his return from a long stay on the disabled list, but reverted to the early season form that got him demoted to the bullpen.After scattering three singles through the first three scoreless innings http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-paul-o_neill-jersey , Mitchell allowed Crawford�s homer to right-center leading off the fifth, his 13th. Shaw doubled with one out and scored on Garcia�s two-out single.With Gregor Blanco aboard on a leadoff single in the fifth, Longoria homered off the balcony on the third level of the Western Metal Supply Co. Building in the left-field corner, his 16th.Mitchell allowed four runs and nine hits in five innings, struck out four and walked none.�I don�t want to sugarcoat it, but I�ve definitely thrown the ball worse and had better results,� Mitchell said. �The balls and strikes were really good. I was attacking for the most part. If I execute maybe three or four pitches a little better, it�s probably a different story.�Mitchell said Longoria �put a hell of a swing on that pitch. It was in and up out of the zone. I just think it was probably a little bit of a predictable pitch at that point. I maybe could�ve set it up a little better. He put a really good swing on it. You�ve got to live with that sometimes.�Said manager Andy Green: �It wasn�t really a poorly executed pitch, Longoria just beat us to the spot.�Austin Hedges homered leading off the second for the Padres, his 14th. He started at catcher even though rookie Francisco Mejia, one of baseball�s top catching prospects, hit a walkoff grand slam against Texas on Sunday.BUMGARNERBochy said LHP Madison Bumgarner could pitch the opener of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sept. 28 at San Francisco if the NL West race is still undecided.UP NEXTGiants: LHP Derek Holland (7-8, 3.46 ERA) is scheduled to start the middle game of the series Tuesday night.

He earned his second career win in his fourth start on April 15 vs. San Francisco. As we head into the final weeks of the fantasy baseball season we must continue to work the waiver wire as rosters expand after September 1. Many of the prospects that will get promoted have already seen some big league action.However, it�s still important to monitor their progress and determine if they can help improve your team. There�s still plenty of talent on league waiver wires. We�ll identify players who can steal bases, and we�ll also introduce you to a closer who�s owned in less than 25 percent of fantasy leagues.PLAYERS TO PICK UPLUIS URIAS, 2B/SS, San Diego Padres (23 percent owned in CBSSports.com leagues) � Urias will be batting close to the top of the Padres lineup as their starting second baseman for the rest of the season. Urias can hit for average, as his .306 career minor league batting average suggests, and he could also potentially help you in the stolen base category.AMED ROSARIO, SS, New York Mets (45 percent) � Rosario is another infielder who can provide a boost in batting average and stolen bases. He got off to a slow start but is batting .329 with five stolen bases in his last 19 games.ROMAN QUINN, OF, Philadelphia Phillies (6 percent) � Quinn has stolen at least 30 bases in five different minor league seasons and he�s been a fixture in the Phillies lineup for the past few weeks. He�s batting .369 and has a .388 OBP in 27 games for the Phillies this season.TREVOR HILDENBERGER RP, Minnesota Twins (22 percent) � It isn�t often that fantasy baseball players can find a closer on the waiver wire this late in the season, but since Aug. 11, Hildenberger has notched a win and converted all five of his save opportunities.TWO-START PITCHERS TO STREAMMATT HARVEY http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-don-mattingly-jersey , SP, Cincinnati Reds (50 percent) � Harvey has a 3.18 ERA and has struck out 24 batters over his last 23 IP. He has favorable matchups against the Pirates and Padres next week.JOEY LUCCHESI, SP, San Diego Padres (53 percent) � Lucchesi�s ERA is actually better when he pitches on the road (2.89 on the road vs. 3.97 home ERA). He�s a strikeout pitcher who has road matchups next week against the Diamondbacks and Reds.JAKOB JUNIS, SP, Kansas City Royals (40 percent) � Junis has a 2.32 ERA in his last five starts, striking out 33 batters in 31 innings while walking just five. He takes on the Indians and later has a winnable start against the Twins next week.HITTERS TO STREAMCOLIN MORAN 1B/3B, Pittsburgh Pirates (17 percent) � Moran has been getting consistent at bats and he�s made them count. He�s batting .333 over the past two weeks. He takes on the Braves to start the weekend but finishes next week with a juicy matchup against the Reds, against whom he�s batted .317 with three home runs on the season.MIKIE MAHTOOK, OF, Detroit Tigers (1 percent) � Baseball fans sometimes forget that Mahtook was a first round pick in baseball�s 2011 amateur draft. He�s got skills and is batting .360 over his last seven games. He ends next week with a three-game set against a soft White Sox pitching staff.JOEY WENDLE 2B/OF, Tampa Bay Rays (28 percent) � Wendle is batting .333 with five stolen bases over the past month. He ends the week against the Blue Jays, who have a league worst 7.59 ERA over the past week.
