SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Chris Shaw is still looking for his first big league hit. However Adrian Gonzalez Jersey , he already has a game-deciding RBI to savor in his 24-hour-old MLB career.Shaw and fellow Giants debutante Aramis Garcia drove in the game’s first two runs, and rookie left-hander Andrew Suarez outdueled Zack Wheeler as San Francisco beat the New York Mets 7-0 on Friday night.Shaw, an outfielder called up earlier in the day to replace the traded Andrew McCutchen, lofted a sacrifice fly to center in the seventh inning to break a scoreless tie. Shaw had struck out on six pitches in his previous two at-bats.“I’ll take that stat line any night if it gives us the lead in the seventh,” Shaw said. “To be able at that point in the game to put us up 1-0 was incredible.”Garcia, a catcher also making his first major league appearance, homered leading off the eighth for the Giants’ second run and then capped the Giants’ six-run inning with an RBI single. Like Shaw, he had struck out in his first two big league at-bats.Garcia, who watched his family crying on the outfield scoreboard after circling the bases on his homer, said he traded “a couple of bats, some batting gloves and some signed baseballs” to the fan who caught the ball in the left-field stands.“What I like about what happened is they struck out the first two times up and then they found a way to get it done,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “It can be a shot in the arm for you when a couple of young kids come up and contribute.”After giving up a first-inning double to Jeff McNeil, Suarez (6-9) retired 17 straight batters until hitting McNeil with a pitch leading off the seventh. He then gave up a bloop single to Austin Jackson, but worked out of the jam by getting Jay Bruce to hit into an inning-ending double play.Suarez allowed two hits in seven innings, striking out five out and walking none, despite dealing with a headache starting in the first inning. Tony Watson worked the eighth and Ty Blach pitched the ninth to complete the three-hitter.Wheeler (9-7) was almost as good Jose Bautista Jersey , striking out nine and walking none while allowing four hits and one run over seven innings. It was his first loss since June 22 — he had won seven straight decisions. He allowed five earned runs in six August starts.“I think it’s just consistency, mechanically and trusting my stuff. My fastball command has been better,” he said. “Everything seems to be working really well right now. I just have trust in my pitches.”Garcia’s homer came off Robert Gsellman. Brandon Belt added a two-run triple later in the inning off Daniel Zamora, and Austin Slater, Gorkys Hernandez and Garcia followed with RBI singles off Drew Smith.The debuts of Shaw and Garcia marked the first time two position players had made their first big league appearance in the same game for the Giants since first baseman Will Clark and second baseman Robby Thompson debuted on April 8, 1986, at Houston.TRAINER’S ROOMMets: 3B David Wright, who has not played since May 2016 while having three surgeries for neck, back and shoulder injuries, rejoined the club to continue his rehabilitation. He is still on the disabled list but said he hopes to be activated sometime in September.Giants: C Buster Posey, who had right hip surgery on Monday, was on crutches when he visited the Giants’ clubhouse before the game. His recovery time is expected to be six to eight months.NO “SURRENDER”Giants executive VP of baseball operations Brian Sabean said after trading McCutchen to the New York Yankees that “we don’t like to surrender,” but acknowledged a 3-1 home loss to the NL West-leading Diamondbacks on Wednesday was a turning point. The Giants began Friday night in fourth place in the division, 7 1/2 games behind Arizona. “Simply put, we were hoping to sweep Arizona and we didn’t, then the odds became taller http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-amed-rosario-jersey ,” he said. “It was the prudent thing to do. Three teams ahead of us and we’re running out of games.”HIGH PICKWheeler was the sixth overall selection by the Giants in the 2009 MLB draft, and was traded as a minor leaguer to the Mets in 2011 for outfielder Carlos Beltran. He has now allowed two runs or fewer in his last eight starts, posting a 1.19 ERA during that span.VEGAS BOUNDThe Giants said infielder Abiatal Avelino, obtained Friday from the Yankees as part of the trade for McCutchen, was assigned to their Triple-A club in Sacramento and would join the River Cats for a season-ending weekend series at Las Vegas.STREAK ENDSThe Mets, who were shut out for the 11th time this season, had won their five previous games in San Francisco.UP NEXTLHP Steven Matz (5-11, 4.36 ERA), who tied his season high by going seven innings in his previous outing, takes the mound for the Mets in the second game of the series. LHP Derek Holland (7-8, 3.65) starts for the Giants, who have won five of his last six starts, although he’s only gotten credit for victories in two of those games. LOS ANGELES (AP) — In the early going, Rich Hill was perfect. Only he didn’t feel that way.He didn’t like the way the ball was coming out of his hand, even though he wasn’t letting anyone on base.“Around the third inning, the feel started coming around Devin Mesoraco Jersey ,” Hill said. “The big thing was getting ahead and throwing strikes.”Hill allowed two hits over six shutout innings, Chris Taylor, Justin Turner and Max Muncy homered, and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the San Diego Padres 11-1 on Friday night to snap a three-game skid.Hill (6-4) retired his first 12 batters, seven of them on strikeouts, before Hunter Renfroe doubled leading off the fifth.“There were a few pitches I left out there,” Hill said. “Everything needs to be tightened up as we move to September.”Hill added another strikeout and had one walk on 90 pitches in his first win since Aug. 7 at Oakland. The only other hit the veteran left-hander gave up was a triple to Freddy Galvis in the sixth.“It’s discouraging when you go into a game with a game plan and we swing at fast balls up and out of the zone,” Padres manager Andy Green said. “You’re just not going to get Rich Hill that way. It’s going to take discipline.”The last-place Padres proved the antidote that the slumping Dodgers needed after scoring just six runs while getting swept in three games by St. Louis. Los Angeles had lost nine of its last 12 and 10 of 14, but the victory brought them back to .500 at home (33-33).“Just kind of getting that monkey off our back was big for us and hopefully we can settle down and relax,” Turner said. “Offense is contagious. When it goes good early, it goes really good. When there’s opportunities lost early in the game it builds up anxiety.”The Dodgers pounded out 13 hits and scored in each of the first five innings. Taylor homered on his first pitch from Clayton Richard (7-11) in the third. Turner added a two-run shot on Richard’s first pitch to him in the fourth, extending the lead to 7-0.Richard gave up seven runs — six earned — and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out three and walked two.“It’s extremely disappointing to put your team in the hole like that. I have no excuse,” Richard said. “It stinks to have an outing like that.” Pinch-hitter Muncy slugged his team-high 29th homer, a two-run shot that made it 11-0, in the seventh. The Dodgers have an NL West-leading 179 homers this season.The Dodgers scored four runs in the second on Cody Bellinger’s RBI single, Brian Dozier’s RBI double down the third-base line and Turner’s RBI single.Bellinger’s RBI double and Hill’s RBI single extended the lead to 9-0 in the fifth.The Dodgers’ bullpen completed the four-hitter. Yimi Garcia gave up two hits and allowed the Padres’ lone run on Galvis’ RBI double in the eighth.The Padres have lost nine of 11 and fell to 4-10 against their NL West rivals this season.TRAINER’S ROOMPadres: 3B Wil Myers returned to the lineup http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-jason-vargas-jersey , going 0 for 4. He had just one at-bat in the last two games after he was hit in the face by a groundball in batting practice Wednesday. “I felt good,” he said. “No problems with anything.”Dodgers: RHP Daniel Hudson (right forearm tightness) went on the disabled list. … RHP Ross Stripling had his scheduled throwing session pushed back to Saturday, when he will face hitters for one or two innings. … RHP Garcia was reinstated from the DL after missing 43 games with right forearm inflammation.AT HOME ON THE ROADGalvis has hit safely in his last nine games at Dodger Stadium dating to Aug. 9, 2016.
