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. Wholesale Jerseys China . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in. NFL Jerseys China Cheap . It might not have mattered.

PITTSBURGH -- Connor McDavid skated into the faceoff circle and looked up and there he was: his childhood idol Sidney Crosby.The NHLs future vs. the NHLs present. And as mature as the Edmonton Oilers rising 19-year-old star can be on the ice, even he was a momentarily starstruck by the Pittsburgh Penguins captain. The proof came in what happened next.It was pretty funny that I take the opening draw against him and have him snap it back, McDavid said. I dont even think I got my stick on it.The jitters vanished almost instantly. McDavid more than held his own in his first meeting with the two-time MVP, picking up three assists. The Penguins, however, rallied for a 4-3 victory behind Conor Shearys two goals, including the winner with 1:42 left.Every game were down two we still think we have a chance to win, Sheary said. Nothing was different for us tonight.Evgeni Malkin and Carl Hagelin also scored for Pittsburgh while Matt Murray stopped 25 shots in his first home start since Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.Crosby was held without a point for the first time this season but helped start the deciding sequence by creating a turnover behind the Edmonton net eventually became a goal when Oilers forward Benoit Pouliots clear attempt smacked off Sheary and by Oilers goaltender Cam Talbot.I dont know who whacked it, but it ended up in the back of the net, Sheary said.The Penguins won their fourth straight and remained unbeaten in regulation (6-0-1) while also praising McDavid and the upstart Oilers, who are atop the Pacific Division by playing a blazing end-to-end game that dares opponents to keep up. McDavids line provided all three goals, with Jordan Eberle getting two and Patrick Maroon getting the other, all on set-ups by McDavid.He doesnt need a lot of time and space, Crosby said. Its one thing to kind of watch games and see it, but out there you can really tell he needs no time and space at all. If youre even with him, youre in big trouble so you better make sure youre a step ahead.The Penguins took a 1-0 lead 1:557 in on Shearys goal before McDavid went to work proving what the fuss was all about.dddddddddddd He kickstarted a mini 2-on-1 with Eberle and slipped a short crossing pass to his teammate that Eberle buried over Murrays glove 14:23 into the first. McDavid was a blur less than three minutes later, racing into the Pittsburgh zone then weaving his way around defenseman Brian Dumoulin before finding Maroon.Theyre quick, theres no question, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. They play a similar game to us. I thought we handled it just fine. I thought the pace of the game was fast. It was an exciting game to be a part of.The Penguins, fresh off a 3-0-1 road trip fueled by a resurgent Crosby, briefly found themselves flat-footed trying to keep pace. Talbot turned away a 4-on-1 break to set up an Edmonton rush that ended with Eberle skating in alone on Murray before sending the puck past the sprawled goaltender.Pittsburgh recovered to tie it, with Hagelin burying a rebound late in the second to bring the Penguins within a goal and Malkin tying it 5:33 into the third with a backhand deflection. The Penguins kept the pressure up late, resulting in Shearys second of the night and third of the season.Theyre never out of a game, McDavid said. You can be up 3-1, but they have so much offensive firepower and they can find a way either way, no matter what.Game notes Pittsburgh has three third-period comeback wins, tied for the most in the league. ...
