PHILADELPHIA -- The struggling Giants couldnt add to their lead and it cost them. Charles Hudon Jersey .Maikel Franco drove home the winning run with one out in the 12th inning on a play that eventually was ruled a single, giving the Philadelphia Phillies a 5-4 victory over San Francisco on Wednesday night.Buster Posey singled, doubled and drove in three runs for the NL West leaders, who have lost 13 of 17 since the All-Star break. Denard Span had three hits.The Giants blew a 4-0 lead and managed just two hits against six Philadelphia relievers, who combined for seven shutout innings.We couldnt tack on, we couldnt do anything with their bullpen, we couldnt get anybody on, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. That was difference in the game. Their `pen shut us down completely.Giants starter Johnny Cueto was cruising along until giving up consecutive solo homers in the seventh and Francos two-run single that tied it in the eighth. He was lifted after allowing four runs in 7 2/3 innings while recording his 12th career double-digit strikeout game by fanning 10 Phillies. The right-hander gave up seven hits and walked one.I felt normal, Cueto said through a translator. I made all my pitches. The only thing I can say is they beat me.Cueto said the Giants have to play their way out of their slump.Its hard to believe, he said. Were a good team. The only thing we can do is keep grinding and keep putting our best effort out there, every time we go out.Cuetos night was long over when the game ended in strange fashion.With the bases loaded and one out in the 12th, Franco lined what appeared to be a clean single into right-center field. But young teammate Aaron Altherr, who was on first base, got so excited about the Phillies winning that he rushed out to right field to congratulate Franco without ever touching second base.Posey, the Giants catcher, noticed the blunder and took a throw at second from right fielder Hunter Pence -- and second base umpire Dale Scott signaled that Altherr was out. Franco did indeed cross first base, though, so Tommy Joseph scored easily from third and the Giants had no chance at an inning-ending double play.When I saw (Hunter) Pence run out to center field to get the ball, I was like, `Whats going on here? Altherr said. Then when I saw him throw to second I was like, `Oh, (no). I feel terrible about it. Im just thankful we still got the win.Altherr said he would buy Franco dinner if the mistake cost his teammate a hit, but after a long delay following the game, the official scorer credited Franco with a single.Its more important that we won the ballgame, Franco said before the ruling. I got my RBI, we win the ballgame, thats what this game is all about.Ryan Howard homered among his three hits and Cameron Rupp also connected for Philadelphia. Franco finished with three RBI.George Kontos (2-2) started the 12th by hitting Joseph with a pitch. He went to second on Luis Garcias sacrifice bunt and Philadelphia had runners on first and second with one out after Kontos walked Cesar Hernandez.Bochy called on Jake Peavy for his first appearance since being demoted to the bullpen when the team acquired left-hander Matt Moore from Tampa Bay on Monday.Peavy induced a grounder by Altherr, but he reached to load the bases when third baseman Eduardo Nunez bobbled the ball for an error.Franco drove the next pitch from Peavy into right-center.Anytime you win in extra innings, its a great win, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. When you lose, its terrible.Garcia (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning, capping an impressive performance by Philadelphias bullpen.The teams combined to use 14 pitchers in a game that took 4 hours, 2 minutes.FOR STARTERSPhil Klein recovered from a shaky first inning in an emergency start for the Phillies and lasted five innings, giving up four runs and eight hits. Philadelphia scratched scheduled starter Aaron Nola 4 hours before the game and placed him on the 15-day DL with a strained elbow.Prior to Wednesday, Klein made eight relief appearances for Texas this season and had pitched 36 games in his big league career. He was a 30th-round selection by the Rangers in 2011.Klein was optioned back to Triple-A following the game.UP NEXTThe teams conclude their three-game series Thursday afternoon when Phillies RHP Vince Velasquez (8-3, 3.32 ERA) opposes Moore (7-7, 4.08).

LONDON -- London has made Liverpool feel right at home.In three trips to the capital in the first five rounds of the English Premier League, Liverpool is still unbeaten after comfortably accounting for Chelsea 2-1 on Friday.Having won at Arsenal and drawn at Tottenham, Liverpool ended Chelseas unbeaten start in the league at Stamford Bridge, where the visitors posted consecutive wins for only the second time in 40 years.Liverpool, more energetic and inventive, was 2-0 up in about half an hour and controlled proceedings for an hour. Not until Diego Costa put Chelsea on the scoreboard did the match begin to feel competitive.But not for long, as Liverpool weathered Chelsea briefly coming out of its slumber, and returned to smothering the Blues.Only Manchester City and Everton remain unbeaten in the league. Chelsea dropped to third and Liverpool rose to fourth.Its a big victory, it keeps our momentum going, captain Jordan Henderson said. We defended excellently, and deserved the three points. It gives good confidence.Having already beaten last seasons league champion and runner-up, Liverpools third win makes the second-round loss to promoted Burnley even more confounding. On Juergen Klopps watch, Liverpool has been strong against Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, and the Manchester clubs, remaining unbeaten in six away games against them, and losing only once in 11 matches.Reds defenders Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip, James Milner, and Nathaniel Clyne ensuredd Costa and Eden Hazard were virtually non-entities in Chelseas first Friday night game in 14 years. Noah Juulsen Jersey. Lovren was so comfortable that he even scored the opener. Given a free kick conceded by Chelsea stand-in captain Branislav Ivanovic on the left sideline, Liverpool eventually got the ball to Philippe Coutinho, who spotted Lovren and two more teammates unmarked at the far post.Coutinhos expertly weighted cross fell perfectly in front of Lovren to practically roll the ball past Thibaut Courtois.It became 2-0 with a cracking goal from Henderson. He accepted a poor clearance from Chelsea on the left side of the box, had time to sight the goal, and unleashed a dipping shot into the top right corner.The beginning was brilliant, Klopp said. We played football like hell.Chelsea, sure to have been blasted at halftime by manager Antonio Conte, started the second spell better, with Nemanja Matic tiptoeing along the byline, and dinking the ball inside for a leaping Costa to volley in for his league-leading fifth goal in five games.But Chelsea never threatened again, as infrequent shots clattered off the legs of Liverpool defenders.Only the relentless NGolo Kante, in midfield, gave Liverpool trouble. And the second Chelsea debut for expensive defender David Luiz finished like his first in 2011, a home loss to Liverpool.
