Ishikawa's hit sends Giants to sweep of Arizona

Baseball Betting Lines

07/25/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Travis Ishikawa knocked in the winning run in the 10th inning to lift San Francisco over Arizona, 3-2, to complete a four-game sweep.

Sergio Romo (3-3) hurled a scoreless ninth for the win and Brian Wilson did the same in the 10th to earn his 29th save.

Buster Posey continued his hot streak by going 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles and drove in a run to extend his hitting streak to 18 games. Aubrey Huff also drove in a run for the Giants, who have won eight of 10 overall.

Esmerling Vasquez (1-3) took the loss after allowing the game-deciding hit for the Diamondbacks, who got a two-run double from starter Barry Enright in the setback.

Arizona's defeat was overshadowed by a deal the club made with the Angels during the contest. Workhorse starter Dan Haren was shipped to the Halos in exchange for starter Joe Saunders, reliever Rafael Rodriguez, prospect hurler Patrick Corbin and a player to be named later.

Posey began the 10th against Vasquez with a double, and moved up on a groundout. Nate Schierholtz was intentionally walked but was caught stealing second ahead of Ishikawa's game-deciding single to right field.

Wilson turned aside the D-Backs in order in the bottom half to wrap up the game.

Posey's double drove in Huff with two down in the first, but Enright's double put the home team ahead in the home half. Gerardo Parra and Augie Ojeda both scored after hitting back-to-back two-out singles.

Edgar Renteria laced a one-out double in the San Francisco fifth and came in when Huff followed with a base hit.

Giants starter Tim Lincecum could have snapped the tie in the eighth, but he struck out swinging with runners on second and third.

Arizona then failed to push across a winning run in the ninth against Romo despite having runners on the corners with one down.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule.
