SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants‘ rookies got the better of the San Diego Padres‘ youngsters in a matchup of NL West teams playing out the season.While veterans Brandon Crawford and Evan Longoria homered off Bryan Mitchell in the Giants’ 4-2 win Monday, three rookies had nice nights. Left-hander Andrew Suarez pitched into the eighth inning, Chris Shaw had his first three-hit game and Aramis Garcia added an RBI single.“They did a great job, starting with Suarez,” manager Bruce Bochy said.Suarez (7-11) snapped a two-start skid by holding San Diego to two runs and four hits while striking out four and walking three in 7 2/3 innings.“He had a good fastball going, good movement on it. Really all his pitches, very efficiently,” Bochy said. “Shaw, nice game by him, big hit by Garcia. It was good to see those kids play well.”Suarez has gone at least six innings in five straight starts. He thought he had a good chance of finishing the eighth.“My pitch count was low for being that deep in the game,” he said. “I just think it’s more my mechanics. I think I do a good routine in between starts to stay strong and ready for my start date.”Suarez looked disappointed when Bochy came out to pull him. Suarez said he thought he showed up his manager http://www.dodgersfanproshop.com/authentic-max-muncy-jersey , so he apologized.“He liked it that I was being competitive,” Suarez said.Will Smith pitched the ninth for his 13th save.The rebuilding Padres dropped to 60-91 to match last year’s loss total with 11 games to play.

Building in the left-field corner, his 16th.Mitchell allowed four runs and nine hits in five innings, struck out four and walked none.“I don’t want to sugarcoat it, but I’ve definitely thrown the ball worse and had better results,” Mitchell said. “The balls and strikes were really good. I was attacking for the most part. If I execute maybe three or four pitches a little better Chris Taylor Jersey , it’s probably a different story.”Mitchell said Longoria “put a hell of a swing on that pitch. It was in and up out of the zone. I just think it was probably a little bit of a predictable pitch at that point. I maybe could’ve set it up a little better. He put a really good swing on it. You’ve got to live with that sometimes.”Said manager Andy Green: “It wasn’t really a poorly executed pitch, Longoria just beat us to the spot.”Austin Hedges homered leading off the second for the Padres, his 14th. He started at catcher even though rookie Francisco Mejia, one of baseball’s top catching prospects, hit a walkoff grand slam against Texas on Sunday.BUMGARNERBochy said LHP Madison Bumgarner could pitch the opener of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sept. 28 at San Francisco if the NL West race is still undecided.UP NEXTGiants: LHP Derek Holland (7-8, 3.46 ERA) is scheduled to start the middle game of the series Tuesday night.
