SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy didnt take kindly to what he believed were two intentional pitches thrown inside at Buster Posey, and wound up getting ejected for the first time this season.Brandon Crawford felt the same way and paid the Diamondbacks back the best way he could.Crawford drove in three runs and came within a triple of hitting for the cycle, Jeff Samardzija overcame a shaky first inning to win and San Francisco beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2 on Friday night.Crawfords home run came shortly after Diamondbacks starter Patrick Corbin (4-7) threw two consecutive pitches that nearly hit Posey. The second went behind Posey and nearly hit him in the back, causing home plate umpire Quinn Wolcott to warn both dugouts.Bochy came out after Wolcott issued the warnings and was ejected.That kind of fired me up, Crawford said. When (Posey) walked I wanted to make them pay for doing that. Im not going to sugarcoat it, thats what I was going for.Brandon Belt walked four times and scored for the Giants after earlier in the day being voted by fans to fill the final spot on the NL roster for next weeks All-Star Game.Crawfords homer was his ninth of the season, and he also singled, walked and doubled.Corbins pitches close to Posey followed on the heels of Samardzija hitting Arizonas Jean Segura -- who homered leading off the game -- in the top of the second.I understand theyre not happy their guy got hit but I cant have Buster being a target, Bochy said. They threw once at him, throws another one thats up high at his back. Thats enough. Thats when guys get hurt.Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale, who was ejected in the fifth for arguing balls and strikes, defended Corbin.I just think he was trying to pitch in, Hale said. He was trying to pitch in and the ball got away a little bit.Samardzija (9-5) walked three and struck out six in 6 1/3 innings to win for the first time in four starts. The right-hander gave up two runs, both in the first inning. Samardzija also scored the go-ahead run on a throwing error after doubling leading off the fifth.Three relievers completed the seven-hitter.It was a tough way to start the game but I like the way it finished, Samardzija said.Crawford had an RBI single in the third, walked in the fifth and doubled in the seventh.Corbin allowed five runs over 4 2/3 innings. The left-hander walked five with one strikeout.Gregor Blanco hit a pinch-hit home run in the eighth for the Giants.After the game the Diamondbacks announced they traded closer Brad Ziegler to the Boston Red Sox for two prospects.HITTING PITCHERSCorbin and Samardzija earn their money on the mound but both continue to show their skills at the plate. Corbin singled in the second inning to give him 13 hits this season, tops among all pitchers in the majors. Samardzijas double in the third is his third extra-base hit this season.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: RHP Zack Grienke (left oblique strain) is feeling better but has not started playing catch. ... INF Chris Owings (left foot plantar fasciitis) and OF David Peralta (low back sprain) took batting practice before the game.Giants: OF Hunter Pence (hamstring) ran the bases and will continue with baseball activities throughout the weekend. ... RHP Matt Cain allowed two runs over 5 2/3 innings with Triple-A Sacramento. . 2B Joe Panik (concussion) took grounders and hit off a tee before the game.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: LHP Robbie Ray (4-7) makes his third start against the Giants this season Saturday.

Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team. TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Lightning arent in a hurry to anoint themselves championship contenders.They expect to be in the hunt for the NHL title after reaching the Stanley Cup final two years ago and coming within one victory of a return trip last spring, however theyre not taking anything for granted.Weve accomplished a lot and weve done a lot, but at the same time that doesnt really matter. This time of year every team starts 0-0 and it doesnt matter that we won a conference title two years ago, forward Tyler Johnson said.Whether were picked first or last were thinking were a team thats going to win, Johnson added. Obviously were happy people have faith in us and want us to do well and think we have a chance to do well. But at the same time we have our own expectations, and thats to win.General manager Steve Yzerman enhanced the chances for another deep run in the playoffs by keeping a talented nucleus intact, beginning with re-signing captain Steven Stamkos to an eight-year, $68 million contract.Defenseman Victor Hedman received an eight-year, $63 million deal. Backup goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy got a new deal worth about $3.5 million per season after filling in admirably for an injured Ben Bishop during the playoffs.I dont really talk about the Stanley Cup today because its so far off and so much needs to happen between now and then, Yzerman said.Our focus is to make the playoffs, and we go through the steps to get there, the GM added. Last year, our record wasnt great. I thought we played reasonably well, but we didnt score goals. We lost a lot of games and points because we didnt score enough.The Lightning lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2015 Stanley Cup Final. They made it back to the Eastern Conference finals last season, falling to the Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games.I think last year was good practice for this year, Bishop saiid.dddddddddddd Going into last year we had a big target on our backs and that hasnt changed this year. I think you look around our division and you see every team added a lot.JOHNSONS JOURNEYCenter Tyler Johnson feels rejuvenated and is looking for a bounce-back year after a wrist injury affected his production last season. He said the wrist didnt feel like it did pre-injury until July. After scoring 13 times in the playoffs two years ago, Johnson had just 14 goals during the 2015-16 regular season.WHERES THE JUICE?Surprisingly, the usually potent Lightning offense struggled last season on the power play. Tampa Bay finished tied for 26th in the NHL, converting 15.8 percent of its chances. The team was last in road power play at 10.1 percent.Our power play wasnt effective, but in general we didnt score enough goals, Yzerman said.BISHOPS RETURNBishop got an early start on his comeback from an ankle and shin injury that sidelined the last six games of the Eastern Conference final against Pittsburgh, taking part in last months World Cup of Hockey. I feel good, the goalie said, adding he faced some pretty intense practices up there against some really good shooters. Definitely kind of a step in the right direction.HOME-ICEThe Lightning saw a dip in their home record last season, going 25-13-3. Tampa Bay had a 32-8-1 record en route to the Eastern Conference championship two years ago.Our team plays hard, these guys are very competitive, they are very professional, Yzerman said.I think going through the start of last season it was a grind coming back after making the finals. They will be better prepared for the grind this year, the GM added. But talking about whos the favorite for the Stanley Cup and what not, thats too far off.
