SAN FRANCISCO -- The last active pitcher to beat the San Francisco Giants in a postseason elimination game will seek to do it a second time Tuesday night when Chicago Cubs right-hander John Lackey takes the ball for Game 4 of the National League Division Series.The Giants staved off elimination with a 6-5, 13-inning victory Monday night, the 10th consecutive time San Francisco recorded a postseason win when a loss would have meant the end of the season.San Francisco won World Series titles in 2010, 12 and 14 but failed to capture the 2002 championship when Lackey, then a rookie, started for the Anaheim Angels on their way to a 4-1 win over the Giants in Game 7.Seems like a long time ago, Lackey said before Mondays game. That has nothing to do with (Tuesday), for sure. Ive had several postseason starts, and one doesnt really affect the next one. Once you get in the game, its another game, another challenge.Lackey, an 11-game winner for the Cubs this season, will be making his 21st career postseason start, the most among active pitchers.He has faced the Giants more often in the playoffs (four times) than the regular season (three), with three of those postseason meetings coming in the 2002 World Series.Lackey is 2-1 with a 3.62 ERA against the Giants in those seven head-to-heads. However, San Francisco roughed him up for four first-inning runs the last time it saw him in the postseason, when he was pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 3 of the 2014 NL Championship Series.The Giants won that game 5-4 in 10 innings en route to a 4-1 series win over the Cardinals that propelled them to their third title in five years.San Francisco will counter Tuesday with left-hander Matt Moore, who had been a candidate to start Game 2 in Chicago. Giants manager Bruce Bochy opted for Jeff Samardzija, pushing Moore back to Game 4.That puts Moore in the same position staff ace Madison Bumgarner faced Monday night -- win or go on vacation.This has got to be the biggest reason why we play the game, why we start training early in November and getting ready for this month, for these series, these moments, Moore said before Mondays game. So for me, Im very excited to watch Bum pitch, and probably a little bit more excited to get going myself.Moore, acquired at the trade deadline from the Tampa Bay Rays, has never faced the Cubs. He does have postseason experience, having gone 1-1 in four games, including two starts, for the Rays.He was one of the Giants best pitchers down the stretch. San Francisco won six of his last eight starts, and Moore held the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers to a total of two runs over 15 2/3 innings in the final week of the regular season with the Giants needing every possible win to hold off St. Louis in the wild-card race.Bochy admitted before Mondays game that the plan was to split the first two in Chicago, then have Moore for the clincher at home.Youre hoping to at least get a split there ... and now youre set up pretty good here, he said. It didnt happen, and now we have to find a way to win every game. Nike Air Vapormax Plus Mens Sale .

DARLINGTON, S.C. -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. surely needed a break from his unsettled future in racing. Elliott Sadler provided the perfect distraction Saturday with his Xfinity Series win at Darlington Raceway.Sadler, who drives for Earnhardts JR Motorsports, held off Denny Hamlin over the final two laps to win at the track Too Tough To Time for the first time since first lining up here in 1996. It was also a joyous finish that Sadler and his team knew would please the boss, who announced Friday that his season behind the wheel was done because of concussion-like symptoms.It wasnt long after reaching victory lane that Earnhardt called Sadler with congratulations.To hear him talking on the telephone today, its neat to hear the excitement in his voice, Sadler said. It gives him something to cheer about when hes had so much bad news. This has got to be good for him.Earnhardt, wholl come to the race track Sunday to talk about his recovery, Tweeted his happiness at Sadlers win. Im so proud of (at)Elliott-Sadler and (at)JRMotorsports!!!!! A win (at)TooToughToTame is so hard to accomplish, Earnhardt posted.Sadler was second in this event in 2013 and 2014, trailing Sprint Cup star Kyle Busch both times. In this one, Buschs Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Hamlin, made a late charge and nosed in front two laps from the end.But Sadler held strong through the final turns and crossed in front to earn the checkered flag at Darlington for the first time in 32 career starts -- 18 in Sprint Cup, 13 in Xfinity and one in the truck series.Ive been wanting to win here for a long time, Sadler crowed after.Hamlin ended second after leading 47 of 147 laps. Daniel Suarez was third and Kyle Larson, last weeks Sprint Cup winner at Michigan, was fourth.Sadler, the series points leader, took the lead from Hamlin with 35 laps to go. He had opened a wide gap on the field until Hamlin,, whos won four Xfinity races at Darlington, steadily ran him down.ddddddddddddt looked like Hamlin would send Sadler to another second at Darlington as Sadler bobbled near the wall with two laps left and Hamlin ducked underneath and nosed ahead.But Sadler, who led a race-high 75 laps, found the power to keep in front.Hamlin closed in one last time on the final lap, but again Sadler maintained his position for the victory.Hamlin said his car struggled in second gear that cost him on restarts. It was exciting. Wish I was on the other end of it for sure, he said.Larson looked like he would make it two straight victories when he passed Hamlin with 57 laps left. But 13 laps later, Larson had a flat tire and slid trying to enter pit road.WHOS HOT: Hamlin continues to excel when he gets behind the wheel on the Xfinity Series. At Darlington, hes had four wins and three seconds in the past seven races. He won his only other Xfinity start of the season at Charlotte in May.WHOS NOT: Kevin Harvick had mechanical problems that put him behind the wall just 33 laps into the race. Harvick, who has 46 Xfinity wins, has now gone winless in his last 14 series starts dating to a victory at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, in March 2015. Harvick, though, is much hotter in the Sprint Cup series where he won two weeks ago in Bristol and will start up front after qualifying was cancelled due to Hurricane Hermine and the field was set by owner points.THEY SAID IT: I cant say that, Sadler said when asked what Earnhardt told him.THE BIG ONE: It was mostly a clean race with Larsons pit road spin the most game-changing caution.UP NEXT: Richmond International Raceway, Richmond, Virginia, Sept. 9. Chase Elliott is the defending champion. ' ' '
