PHOENIX -- With another series win against a division rival, the San Francisco Giants overtook the Chicago Cubs for the NL lead with their 52 victory.Pinch-hitter Ramiro Pena hit a tiebreaking double in the 11th inning, and the San Francisco escaped with a 5-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday to take two of three in the series.The Diamondbacks Jake Lamb hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning to tie it 4-4 but Enrique Burgos (0-1), Arizonas seventh pitcher, walked leadoff batter Jarrett Parker in the 11th and Pena lined the first pitch he saw into the right-field corner.Josh Osich (1-1) pitched a scoreless 10th to get the win. Santiago Casilla escaped trouble in the 11th for his 19th save in 23 tries.The Giants took a series from an NL West foe for the seventh straight time. The last series they lost to a team in their own division came when they were swept at home by Arizona from April 18-21.Its pretty big, especially for us right now when we dont have a lot of guys in our lineup, the Giants Brandon Belt said. Just for the younger guys to step in there and step up for us big. It says a lot. It says a lot about this team.With the outfield depleted, Belt -- almost always a first baseman these days -- played in left because the outfield is depleted.He made a nice running catch in left field, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. We were in a box today, with a couple outfielders down, three actually. Thats why Brandon went out in left field and he looked comfortable.The Giants Gregor Blanco strained a knee in Saturday nights loss and is being evaluated. Denard Span was out with a stiff right neck.Rookie Albert Suarez pitched six innings, and Brandon Belt and Mac Williamson each drove in a pair of runs to put San Francisco up 4-2With one out in the eighth, first baseman Buster Posey bobbled Paul Goldschmidts spinning grounder for an error. Goldschmidt stole second and Lamb launched Cory Gearrins 3-2 pitch just over the fence in right field. It was Lambs fourth homer in five games and his 19th of the season. Eleven of those home runs either tied the game or gave Arizona a lead.Goldshmidt also homered, his 15th.There were opportunities in the beginning of the game and at the end there. We just couldnt get it done, Lamb said.Yasmany Tomas led off the Arizona 11th with a single, was sacrificed to second, and a wild pitch put him on third with one out. But pinch-hitter Welington Castillo grounded out, and Peter OBrien, another pinch hitter, struck out. OBrien has struck out 25 times in 57 at bats since coming up from Triple-A Reno.A night earlier, Castillos three-run home run off Hunter Strickland in the eighth inning beat the Giants. This time, Strickland struck out Castillo in the ninth.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: RHP Matt Cain (right hamstring strain) had his first rehab start in an Arizona (rookie) League game Saturday night. He went 3 1/3 innings, allowing two runs and three hits, one a home run. He struck out six.Diamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke was placed on the 15-day DL, retroactive to Wednesday, with a right oblique strain. Its his first DL stint since April 2013. Manager Chip Hale said he hopes Greinke can return after the All-Star break but doesnt know if that is realistic.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: RHP Archie Bradley (3-3, 4.50 ERA) takes Greinkes scheduled start in the series opener against the San Diego Padres Monday night. RH Luis Perdomo (2-3, 8.49) goes for the Padres.Giants: The Giants return home for three against Colorado. RHP Jake Peavy (4-7, 5.33), coming off a rough outing against Oakland, gets the start for San Francisco the Monday afternoon opener against the Rockies Tyler Anderson (0-2, 2.66).

PITTSBURGH -- As a general rule, Pittsburgh kicker Chris Blewitt tries to steer clear of social media. He logs onto Facebook only occasionally, joking he likes something every couple of months so people know hes still alive. Twitter is pretty much out. Consider it an act of self-preservation to avoid the all-too-convenient puns that pop up whenever one of his kicks sails wide of the mark.Funny how all those puns vanished when Blewitt drilled a last-second 48-yard field goal that lifted the Panthers over then second-ranked Clemson 43-42 and sent shockwaves throughout the College Football Playoff picture.Its always fun to be able to shut people up, Blewitt said.Something Blewitt and the Panthers (6-4, 3-3 ACC) did with one frantic fourth-down fourth-quarter stop and one final sweep of Blewitts right leg in what by any stretch is the programs biggest victory in nearly a decade, Septembers thriller over Penn State included.Based on my phone blowing up, it was bigger than the Penn State win, coach Pat Narduzzi said.Now comes the hard part: backing it up. As cathartic as holding off the Nittany Lions felt in the renewal of a rivalry that was dormant for 15 years, the momentum didnt last. Pitt went on the road and dropped its next two games, narrow losses to Oklahoma State and North Carolina.Doing the same while wrapping up the regular season at home against Duke (4-6, 1-5) and Syracuse (4-6, 2-4) and all the joy will fade quickly. And the Panthers know it.At 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, nobody cares what you did last week, coach Pat Narduzzi said.True, though if theres one hallmark Narduzzi has tried to imprint on the Panthers during his two seasons on the job its this: be resilient. Its why he gave Blewitt a kiss (literally) after an early extra point attempt was blocked. Yes, really.Id say it definitely was a first, Bleewitt said.dddddddddddd I do appreciate the message, but the gesture caught me off guard.Narduzzi understood there would be a point later in the game when Pitt would need Blewitt to come through again and rather than have Blewitt spend 15 minutes on the bench beating himself up, Narduzzi opted to take a more optimistic approach. For all of Narduzzis sideline histrionics, he makes it a point to never publicly chastise his players. Thats what practice is for, not the games.I could tell he was down a little bit, Narduzzi said. He just had that look on his face. I told him, `Wipe that off. Theres not a player on offense, defense, that didnt make a (mistake).Blewitt atoned -- and then some -- by nailing the kick that served as the tipping point of a wild Saturday in which the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 teams in the College Football Playoff ranking lost. Seeing the replay, the one in which Blewitt raised his arms to signal good almost the instant the ball left his foot, was cool. Yet it was one step in the process.I wouldnt say, `I did it, Blewitt said. Id say our team definitely came through.It also allowed the Panthers to head home without the pressure of trying to become bowl eligible. Pitt, however, is quick to avoid the notion that it has finally arrived. Celebrating on the field in Death Valley was a sweet moment to be sure, but also a fleeting one if it doesnt turn into something more.Its great to knock off the No. 2 team in the country, Narduzzi said. If were capable of coming to Heinz Field and getting it done, its just as big. Other people might not think it but (we do). ... We still have got a long way to go.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
