DENVER -- Backup catcher Hector Sanchez played a starring role in a wild win. Victor Martinez Jersey . He could get used to this. Sanchez hit two of San Franciscos six homers, including a grand slam in the 11th inning Wednesday that gave the Giants a thrilling 12-10 victory over the Colorado Rockies. With the Giants on the verge of being swept in a three-game series at Coors Field for the first time in 12 years, Sanchez drove a fastball from Chad Bettis (0-1) into the bushes behind centre field. He also hit a solo homer in the eighth. "Everybody wants to be the hero," said Sanchez, who was spelling Buster Posey in a day game following a night contest. "Everybody wants to do well." Catching the entire game, Sanchez was starting to feel his legs cramp in the late innings. It certainly didnt affect his swing, as he fouled off quite a few pitches from Bettis before connecting. He almost instantly raised his hand because, "I knew it was out of the park," he said. So did Bettis. But the reliever had no other choice than to try to blow a fastball by him with the count full and bases loaded. "I put myself in a bad spot and got hurt for it," Bettis said. Michael Morse also hit two homers -- a solo shot in the second and a three-run homer the following inning -- as two Giants hit multiple homers in the same game for the first time since May 25, 2005. Brandon Hicks and Brandon Belt also went deep for the Giants, who rallied from a 5-1, second-inning deficit. "I mean, were down 5-1, looking at getting swept here and they fought hard, found a way to win a game here," said manager Bruce Bochy, who was ejected in the fourth for arguing balls and strikes. "It makes for a better flight home." Jean Machi (4-0) got one out in the 10th to earn the win. Sergio Romo struggled in a non-save situation, surrendering a two-run homer to Justin Morneau but retiring Brandon Barnes on a game-ending 5-4-3 double play. Hunter Pence led off the 11th with a single and Belt followed with a walk. After a sacrifice, Joaquin Arias was intentionally walked to get to Sanchez, who delivered his first career slam. Sanchez finished with a career-high five RBIs. "We got the victory, and thats the best part," he said. With him playing a central role, too, on a day when starter Matt Cain struggled. The righty allowed seven runs, 10 hits and three walks in six innings and is 0-3 with a 4.35 ERA in five starts. Charlie Blackmon finished 2 for 5 with a homer and four runs -- lowering his batting average to .410. Troy Tulowitzki added a two-run homer and Nolan Arenado extended his hitting streak to 14 games with an RBI double in the seventh. Belts two-run homer in the seventh gave the Giants a 7-6 lead and came off Rex Brothers. The hard-throwing lefty surrendered a game-ending, 10th-inning homer to Brandon Crawford on April 13. Arenado tied the game with an RBI double off Cain. With two on and no outs, reliever Jeremy Affeldt was summoned into the game and got the Giants out of the predicament. "We had Cain on the ropes early, but weve seen him do that before, where he battles and competes and somehow finds a way to stick around until late in the game," manager Walt Weiss said. "Hes done that a handful of times against us. We had opportunities to really put that game away." Still, it was a productive homestand for the Rockies as they wound up 4-2. "We are a team with confidence," Weiss said. "I feel like the energy in the dugout is always good, even when we get down. Even being down four in that last inning, with Romo in the game, still a lot of energy and guys feeling like we could put something together and win the game. I feel good about our mentality." NOTES: Giants 3B Pablo Sandoval left in the seventh with a stomach virus. .... Hicks had to stop at second on his double in the eighth when a fan reached over the railing to grab it. ... Bochy tinkered with his starting lineup, resting Posey and OF Angel Pagan, whos been bothered by knee soreness. Pagan entered as a pinch hitter in the eighth and grounded out. Posey was intentionally walked in the 10th. ... Bochy said Pagan will have his knee checked out Thursday in San Francisco. ... Morneau finished the homestand with nine hits, including two doubles, three homers and 11 RBIs. Willie Horton Jersey . The three goals bring Messis career tally for Barcelona to 371 in all games -- including friendlies -- breaking the club record of 369 held by Paulino Alcantara since 1927. The 26-year-old Messi was already the clubs all-time leading scorer in official games. Messi assured Barcelonas fans they will enjoy his goals for years to come, saying "as long as people want me, I will stay here. Cheap Tigers Jerseys . When New Zealand finally held on for an 8-7 win, France No. 8 Imanol Harinordoquy collapsed to the ground, having given every drop of energy he could muster, and lay prone as All Blacks danced around him in celebration. Few critics had given France any chance, but coach Marc Lievremonts team rallied from 8-0 down and came within one kick of taking the lead with 15 minutes remaining, only for flyhalf Francois Trinh-Ducs 49-meter effort to drift wide. http://www.cheaptigersjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-jose-iglesias-jersey . -- Augusta James of Bath, Ont.Each week, TSN.ca Fantasy Editor Scott Cullen and NFL Editors Ben Fisher and Mitch Ward discuss three hot fantasy football topics. 1) With a competent QB finally throwing him the ball, is Larry Fitzgerald back to being an elite fantasy WR? Cullen: Yes. Its not as though Fitzgerald lost his skill last season, he was merely a victim of Kevin Kolb, John Skelton and Ryan Lindley throwing him the ball. Palmer isnt great, but threw for more than 4,000 yards in 15 games with the Raiders last season and no one in the Raiders receiving corps is in Fitzgeralds league. I projected Fitzgerald for more than 1,300 yards and nine touchdowns this season, putting him fifth in value among wide receivers and thats elite enough company for me. Ward: Depends on your definition of elite. Is he top-3? Maybe not. Is he top-10? Definitely. Calvin Johnson is still the alpha male at the position and there are guys like AJ Green, Julio Jones and a few others that I like a little more, but Fitz is certainly back to being a high-end WR1. Physically and athletically he is a nightmare for opposing DBs, and with Carson Palmer throwing him the ball you can expect big numbers in 2013. The most appealing part of his stat line from Week 1 for fantasy owners is the 14 targets he got. The Cardinals are set to throw the ball a ton this season and Fitzgerald will be the biggest beneficiary. Fisher: Larry Fitzgeralds last six quarterbacks were Derek Anderson, John Skelton, Max Hall, Kevin Kolb, Ryan Lindley, and Brian Hoyer. Remember the last time he had a decent QB to work with? It was 2009 with Kurt Warner, and he set a career high with 13 touchdown catches that year. Carson Palmer isnt Kurt Warner, but hes a decent fantasy QB and he makes Fitzgerald relevant again (he was a top five receiver in Week 1). Add in head coach Bruce Arians affinity for the air game and yes, Fitzgerald will be an elite receiver this season. Fitz should finish the year among the top fantasy receivers, guys like Calvin Johnson, AJ Green and Dez Bryant. 2) In light of Reggie Bushs big performance in Week 1 with the Lions, is he finally the running back he was supposed to be coming out of USC? Cullen: It would be hard for anyone to live up to the player that Reggie Bush was supposed to be coming out of USC -- he had 2218 yards from scrimmage (9.4 yards per touch!) and 18 touchdowns as a junior -- but he is definitely in a position to succeed. Bush gained 2,660 yards and scored 15 touchdowns over the past two seasons in Miami, establishing that hes a legitimate starting running back in the NFL and that should continue in Detroit, maybe to the tune of 1,300 or 1,400 yards from scrimmage. But lets not overreact to one game against Minnesota, especially one in which Bush had 25 touches, a workload hes had just six times in 92 pro games. Ward: 191 yards and a touchdown sure was a nice Detroit debutt. Michael Fulmer Jersey. While I dont know if Bush will ever live up to the massive hype that accompanied him to the NFL, he might get close with the Lions. He should get 20 or so touches every week and the Lions will look to use him in open space where he can make the make the most of his athletic abilities. If he stays healthy, he could flirt with 2,000 yards from scrimmage. Fisher: Reggie Bush had incredible expectations coming out of USC in 2006, and while I still dont think hell hit those lofty standards with the Lions, this year will be the closest hell come in his eight years in the league. Bushs Super Bowl heroism masked a mediocre run in New Orleans and while he was improved in Miami, he was still never confused for the top back a lot of people thought hed be. I still cant see him joining the elite fantasy runners on a week to week basis (guys like AP, Doug Martin, and Ray Rice) but Bush is right there after that group, and that makes him a top 10 RB play. Pretty good considering how his NFL career started with the Saints. 3) After Terrelle Pryors mostly impressive start for the Raiders, is he now a fantasy football QB1? Cullen: Too soon to go offering up QB1 status for Pryor -- there are a lot of good quarterbacks in the league and we dont know if Pryors legitimately accurate enough to remain effective. He does become interesting as a QB2, though because with even modest passing totals, Pryor has a chance to make things happen when he runs the ball and that rushing yardage can accumulate into some pretty nice fantasy value with one point for every 10 yards rushing (compared to one for every 25 yards passing) in most leagues. For now, Pryor interesting, with lots of upside, but not nearly proven enough to go ahead of the top 10-12 quarterbacks. Ward: QB1 is a bit of a stretch. I see Terrell Pryor as a solid QB2 with a high fantasy floor. The passing yards and touchdowns wont be very good but with his ability to run the ball, Pryor will start with a base of five or six points every single week. The Raiders will also play from behind often which means plenty of opportunities to pick up garbage time stats. Due to his upside Id rather roll the dice with Pryor than guys like Philip Rivers, Alex Smith or Matt Schaub. Fisher: I think he will be. Terrelle Pryor was the ninth-ranked fantasy QB in Week 1. His point total was aided in large part to the fact he was second in the league in rushing with 112 yards. While thatll probably the last time hell be that high on the leagues rushing list, his athleticism and creativity lends to at least 60-70 yards per game, or six or seven fantasy points. If he hits 200 yards passing every week, certainly not out of the question, thats another eight points. Then Pryor just needs one score, either through the air or on the ground and hes a 20-point player, minimum. Should he keep his interceptions under wraps, Pryor will remain a low-end QB1 play.
