LOS ANGELES -- Pablo Sandoval moved into the cleanup spot and broke out of his slump. Sandoval and Hector Sanchez hit RBI singles in the 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants recovered to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 Sunday after closer Sergio Romo gave up a tying homer to Hanley Ramirez. "Im happy, but Im not satisfied. I just want to do better for my teammates and the team," Sandoval said. "Youve got to keep focused and keep working hard, because everything is going to come back. So I dont worry too much about it. I just try to stay positive and keep fighting and have the faith that I can do it." Sandoval, who began the day hitting .173, was 3 for 5 with two RBIs. His other six RBIs this season came when he was batting third. "He was pretty excited about where he was hitting today, and he asked me how much I had to drink last night," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "I know its been frustrating for him, but hes been making better contact, and it just seems like hes got some confidence going. More than anything, hes got a little bit of a swagger right now, and hes got to keep that. Hopefully this will be something he can build on." San Francisco needs Sandoval to start producing in the middle of the lineup, especially with Brandon Belt sidelined for at least six weeks because of a broken thumb. "It was nice to see him go out there and get three knocks," Giants pitcher Tim Hudson said about Sandoval. "You know the great player is in there. And for him to get back to being that great player, its between the ears. Once he gets a little confidence going and believing in himself, hell be OK. We believe in him, and its something weve been saying for a long time." Sandovals run-scoring double in the first against Clayton Kershaw ended an RBI drought of 20 games and 68 at-bats for the switch-hitting third baseman since April 16 against the Dodgers. It was only the third hit with a runner in scoring position in a span of 27 at-bats for Sandoval, who clapped his hands as he went into second base standing up. "When you get the RBI to get ahead in the first inning against a tough pitcher like that, you have to be happy," Sandoval said. "Im happy that were winning and that were in first place." Brandon Hicks hit a two-run shot against the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, and Buster Posey had an RBI single for the NL West leaders, who beat the defending division champions for the seventh time in 10 meetings this season. The Giants finished their road trip 7-3 and played errorless ball over the last five games. Romo (3-0) came on in the ninth to try and protect a 4-2 lead for Hudson. The right-hander struck out Yasiel Puig after a one-out double by Dee Gordon, but Ramirez lined his fifth homer to left field on an 0-1 pitch. The blown save was Romos first this season in 13 chances. Angel Pagan drew a leadoff walk in the 10th from Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen (0-2). Hunter Pence singled and both runners advanced on a wild pitch before Posey was intentionally walked. Sandoval and Sanchez delivered clutch hits, then Posey scored on J.P. Howells wild pitch. Jean Machi got three outs for his first major league save. Hudson allowed two runs and eight hits over six innings, including a leadoff homer in the sixth by Puig that extended his career-best hitting streak to 11 games. The right-hander went fewer than seven innings for the first time in eight starts this season. Kershaw allowed three runs and seven hits in his third start of 2014 and first at Dodger Stadium. The three-time defending major league ERA champ struck out nine and walked none in his second outing since coming off the disabled list. He also had nine Ks and no walks last Tuesday at Washington, when he pitched seven scoreless innings in an 8-3 win. Sandoval led off the seventh with a single and Hicks followed with his seventh homer, a drive to left field on an 0-2 curveball. The Giants have 45 homers through 38 games, their highest total at this stage of a season since 2001 (51). Hicks also went deep Thursday against Josh Beckett in the Giants series-opening win. "Its frustrating," Kershaw said. "The team played so well and we battled all day. Guys were making plays, getting big, clutch hits, moving guys over and playing the game the right way. So for me to give up that home run after just getting the lead right back is disappointing. Ive got to shut the door right there." Los Angeles grabbed a 2-1 lead in the sixth. Puig drove Hudsons first pitch of the inning into the Dodgers bullpen in left to tie it 1-all and flipped his bat after making contact. "It is what it is. I mean, boys will be boys," Hudson said. "Hes an emotional player and he hit the (stuffing) out of it. I probably would have flipped the bat, too." Ramirez then legged out a double and Adrian Gonzalez followed with an RBI single that ended a 2-for-33 slide. Gonzalez tried to score from second on Drew Buteras single to centre, but Pagan threw him out at the plate. NOTES: Beginning with Monday nights game against the Marlins, fans entering Dodger Stadium will be going through metal detectors at selected gates for a limited number of games the rest of the season. The new security measures, which Major League Baseball is implementing in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security, are expected to be in all big league ballparks by next year. ...

Which is to say, the top of this years draft class is not as dynamic or exciting as the 2013 class of Nate MacKinnon, Sasha Barkov, Jonathan Drouin and Seth Jones and its not as strikingly promising as the highly-anticipated 2015 slate of Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifin.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Peyton Manning can orchestrate the offence from the sideline, too.The five-time MVP who has 139 TD throws since coming to Denver in 2012 lobbied for a pass and even suggested the particular play when backup Brock Osweiler got his first career touchdown toss.On third-and-goal from the 1 just after the 2-minute warning Sunday, Osweiler rolled right and threw a dart to tight end Virgil Green, capping a 47-14 rout of the Raiders.I know Brocks been waiting forever, offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase said. Every time he goes in, hes like, Were throwing it, right? Im like, No. I mean, you try to give him a little bit of hope. But it was good that Coach (John) Fox gave us the green light.And our starting quarterback was killing me that we werent going to throw it there on third-and-1, Gase added. He talked Fox into it and he knew what Virg could do. So, it was a good call by Peyton.Manning had been trying to get the fourth-year tight end his first score all season, and Osweiler has spent his first three years in the NFL going in for an occasional hand-off or kneel-down.So, it was good both of those guys got their first touchdowns at the same time, Manning said Wednesday. I dont know what they did with the ball. There was a big argument, a big discussion over that.Osweiler let Green keep the football, reasoning, he waited longer for it.Yeah, thats true, Manning said. Thats probably a good point.Reminded that Gase said he was giving him grief for considering calling another hand-off on third down, Manning responded: Well, I called it. Yeah, I gave it to him. I dont know about killing him, I was telling him what he should call. He did it. So, it worked out well.That Manning helped engineer the touchdown comes as no surprise.Hes long been called his own offensive co-ordinator because of his recall abilities, preparation and famous gyrations and audibles at the line of scrimmage.Truth be told — and his play call Sunday notwithstanding — Manning has long acquiesced to his coaches.Countering the popular notion that Manning needs no coaching is this fact: three of his former tutors are in the playoffs along with Gase, whos taken No.dddddddddddd 18 to another level post-spinal fusion surgery.Arizona coach Bruce Arians was his first QB coach when Manning arrived in the NFL in 1998. And Arians right-hand man, Tom Moore, who has guided the Cardinals through three quarterbacks this season, was Mannings offensive co-ordinator during his 13 seasons in Indianapolis.Lions coach Jim Caldwell was Mannings position coach the year Indy won the Super Bowl.Now, Gase has a good chance of getting his own head coaching gig. Hell interview in Denver this week with the Bears, 49ers and Falcons about their vacancies now that the players have been given a three-day furlough beginning Thursday.Its an exciting opportunity for him, certainly opportunities that he deserves, Manning said. But I know hes focused on helping us get ready for this playoff game no matter who were playing.The Broncos (12-4) will learn this weekend whether theyll face Pittsburgh, Cincinnati or Indianapolis in the divisional round Jan. 11 at Sports Authority Field.Manning is a huge fan of Gase, 36, who was courted by Cleveland last year before withdrawing his name from the Browns list in part to focus on the Broncos Super Bowl quest.Last year I talked to a couple of teams on behalf of him that reached out to me and that may happen again, so Im certainly glad to share my thoughts, Manning said. I think its pretty well-documented my thoughts on him. I dont think he needs me to stand up here and campaign for him. But Im excited hes going to have the opportunity that hes going to have this weekend. He deserves it and I think the teams that he talks to will be impressed.Notes: Manning and WR Demaryius Thomas sat out practice for the second straight day. ...
