SAN FRANCISCO -- Madison Bumgarner had stymied the New York Mets over the years with his pitching. This time, the Giants ace turned the tables and delivered the big blow with his bat.At this point, manager Bruce Bochys ballclub will take a win however it comes.Bumgarner hit a go-ahead two-run homer off Jacob deGrom in the fourth inning -- moments after giving up a grand slam -- and San Francisco came back from four runs down to beat the Mets 10-7 on Thursday night.Bumgarner, who narrowly missed a home run in his first at-bat, hit a 2-2 pitch into the stands in left field to cap a five-run inning when the Giants batted around. It was Bumgarners third home run this season and the 14th of his career.I dont know if anybodys ever going to say theyre comfortable against (deGrom) but for whatever reason I was seeing the ball a little better today, Bumgarner said. With the RBI situations Ive had the last few games, I wanted to shorten up and just try to make contact.The highly anticipated matchup between pitchers with two of the five lowest ERAs in the majors wound up being a slugfest.San Francisco and New York combined for 17 runs and 30 hits.I didnt see that kind of game coming, Bochy said. You had two good ones out there and they just werent on top of their game.New York had taken a 4-0 lead in the fourth on Justin Ruggianos second career grand slam in his first game back off the disabled list.San Francisco bounced back with three runs in the bottom of the inning before Bumgarners home run.The home run helped overcome a shaky outing by San Franciscos four-time All-Star. Bumgarner (12-7) allowed four runs over five innings and struck out six.It was kind of rough the whole game, Bumgarner said. Location wasnt that good. Even when we were throwing strikes in the zone, the strikes werent located how Id want to.DeGrom (7-6) had allowed only two earned runs over his previous 27 2/3 innings before giving up career-highs in runs (8) and hits (13). He struck out five and walked one in losing to the Giants for the first time in four starts.It seemed like everything I threw went right down the middle, deGrom said. Tonights on me. I was terrible.Eduardo Nunez had four hits and three RBI for San Francisco, Brandon Crawford and Denard Spann added three hits apiece while Joe Panik drove in two runs.Six Giants pitchers combined to retire the final 12 batters. Santiago Casilla worked the ninth for his 28th save.San Francisco ended a four-game losing streak and pulled within one-half game of the first-place Dodgers in the NL West. Los Angeles lost to Philadelphia earlier Thursday.Travis dArnaud and T.J. Rivera had two hits apiece for the Mets.New York scored three times in the sixth to pull to 8-7 then loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh before Derek Law got Ty Kelly to ground out.Buster Posey hit a two-run double in the eighth to give the Giants breathing room.MILESTONE MOMENTIt was Bochys 1,769th career win, tying him with long-time Pirates and Tigers manager Jim Leyland for 15th on the all-time list. Im humbled to even reach this milestone with somebody whos done so much for the game and was one of the best managers ever in the game, Bochy said.RARE AIRBumgarner is the second pitcher in the modern era to allow a grand slam then hit a go-ahead home run in the same inning, according to EliasSports. Hal Jeffcoat did it with the 1957 Cincinnati Reds.TRAINERS ROOMMets: SS Asdrubal Cabrera (strained left patella tendon) and OF Yoenis Cespedes (strained right quad) are expected to join the team Friday. ... 2B Neil Walker (lower back) missed his third straight game. ... RHP Gabriel Ynoa was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas.Giants: RHP Matt Cain was placed on the 15-day DL with a lower back strain. RHP Cory Gearrin was activated off the DL.UP NEXTMets: RHP Seth Lugo (0-1) will make his first start of the season Friday in place of Steven Matz. Matz was scratched late Thursday with shoulder soreness..Giants: RHP Johnny Cueto (13-3) pitches for San Francisco looking to end a six-game winless stretch.

Phil Foden Jersey . -- Nathan Pancel scored twice as the Sudbury Wolves defeated the North Bay Battalion 4-2 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. ESPN rounds up all the reaction from up and down the paddock following the 2016 Austrian Grand Prix.MercedesLewis Hamilton (1st): I was in a good position, head down and targeting as many points as possible today - The opportunity to try for the win came on the final lap when Nico ran wide out of Turn 1. I was then able to get a good run on him and went down the outside, leaving as much room as I could. I was surprised to make contact with Nico and then from there I just tried to push as hard as possible, passing him ahead of the next corner as he slowed due to the sparks coming off his car. This is motor racing and the team allow us to race and its the aim for both of us to win races - this was just an unfortunate incident today. Im looking forward to getting to Silverstone to catch up with my fans and hopefully I can get another good result there.Nico Rosberg (4th): It was disappointing to lose the race like that. It got quite difficult on the final few laps as I had to manage my brakes and I was confident that I could bring the victory home. I had the inside line and we both went into the corner a bit long. I was surprised that Lewis turned in and it ultimately meant that we came together - thats how the sport goes sometimes but its really difficult to lose the race in that way.Toto Wolff, Head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport: It was incredibly frustrating for the team to see a one-two finish potentially become a double DNF on the final lap of the race - and to see us lose points again as a result of a collision between our two cars. We let our drivers race and we trust them to do so - but colliding team-mates is not what we want and this is something that needs to be stopped. If we need to reconsider our philosophy, and to take some unpopular decisions, then we must be prepared to keep that option open. It had been an intense race until that point: we tried the one stop with Lewis, anticipating that Ferrari would do the same, but converted early to a two-stop for Nico.However, as the race unfolded, our predictions began to show that Nico would come out on top, so we converted to a two-stop strategy with Lewis as well to give him the best chance of the win. Lewis was running our preferred tyre, the soft compound, in his final stint but Nico did not have any soft sets left, so took super soft to the finish. The drivers were also right on the limit with the brakes, having raced hard all the way through, and Nicos brake by wire system went into passive mode on the penultimate lap. As for the collision, I am not going to try and put blame more on one side than the other; it always takes two to tango and, as we have said before, this should not happen between team-mates. We will now let the emotions settle before we sit down and discuss our next steps.Paddy Lowe, Executive Director (Technical): It was a very eventful race as we had predicted given the quite unusual starting grid and the different tyre options in play. Our plan was fairly straightforward for Lewis as we had him on our baseline one-stop strategy; ultra-soft, soft. Nico had a rather difficult first stint as his ultra softs went off quite quickly so we reverted him to a two stop strategy and he made fantastic progress through the traffic. In Lewis case we stayed out to cover the Ferraris who were also clearly doing a one stop. By the time it had all shaken out it was clear that Lewis one stop was perfectly viable to beat everyone else but not his teammate because Nicos two-stop was faster than predicted.We therefore elected to also stop Lewis for another set of soft tyres and Nico changed onto the super softs as he didnt have another set of soft tyres. Towards the end of the race Nico ended up running towards the limits of brake wear. We did our best to manage this but by the last lap his brake system had defaulted to a passive mode. This allowed Lewis to launch his final attack and unfortunately this didnt end as we would have liked. Ultimately were happy to come away with a win for the team. The car performed very well all weekend and our team performance was very strong so congratulations to the team at Brackley and Brixworth for the continued great work.FerrariKimi Raikkonen (3rd): It was not an easy day but I did my best. Third position is an ok result but Im a bit disappointed with where we ended up: considering the first part of the race, we expected more here as a team. At the beginning we had good speed to catch up a bit with the Mercedes, but then after my pit stop it was not easy to recover. I lost precious time trying to pass Ricciardo, I got close to him many times, but then I was losing traction trying to get out of turn two. Once I got past him I had a very good speed and I was very happy with the handling. In the last part of the race I think I could have passed Max, but with the yellow flags on track it was not possible. Handling-and-speed-wise today we got the maximum out of the car, but it was not enough because we want to be up there with both cars. Hopefully in Silverstone well have a smoother weekend and a better result.Sebastian Vettel (DNF): When the rear right tire failed, I didnt feel anything, or rather, I felt it when it was too late and it exploded out of the blue. There were no signes before that, everything was normal. I spoke with the people on the pit-wall and everything looked the same, the pace was the same as the lap before, the tires felt fine, the lap times were fine. Its completely a question mark on why the tyre had the failure. Obviously the idea was to go on as long as possible with that set of tires and to shape our race on that idea, but I dont think it was an aggressive strategy, as lots of people went longer than us on the same tires. Now there are still a lot of races left, but surely not finishing the race doesnt help.Maurizio Arrivabene, Team Principal: The result could have been better as Sebastian, today, would have finished very high on the podium without the tire failure. That happened when he was leading the race and all of a sudden, with no prior warning, so the causes will have to be investigated together with Pirelli. As for Kimi, he scored another nice podium finish: we had split strategies between our drivers and both our data and his feedback showed that he could have come ahead of Verstappen in the last stages of the races, had it not been for the yellow flags which came out following Perezs crash.WilliamsValtteri Bottas (9th): We definitely expected more points today. The main problem was getting the tyres to work and to last, so that is something we need to understand before Silverstone because the temperatures could be similar to what they were here today. I dont think our car was too bad this weekend, we just really struggled to get the tyres to work. It was a disappointing day, but its going to be very important to learn from today to move on.Felipe Massa (DNF): The race was going ok for me, I was fighting and gaining positions from the start and I had a very good pace during most of the race. Unfortunately, I had a puncture and had to pit for new tyres. I had been saving the brakes for the whole race, but at the end I was close behind Gutierrez so the temperatures rose even more and I had to stop.Rob Smedley, Head of Performance Engineering: Our race with Felipe was dictated by our first priority, which is safety. We found some structural damage on his front wing, which we believe was caused by vibrations over the kerbs. We changed it for safety reasons which meant he had to start from the pitlane, so his race was never going to be easy. We started him on the option tyre and ran for as long as we could before he had graining. Then we put on the prime and he was looking good. Unfortunately, he picked up a puncture due to a cut in the tyre, so we had to pit and put him back on the option.We subsequently had to retire him because of brake wear when the temperatures rocketed while he was behind Gutierrez, so that was the only safe thing to do. Valtteris race wasnt as eventful but we were only able to get a couple of points. He struggled with graining, so his pace wasnt where he should be because the way he manages tyres is usually one of the best in the pitlane. Unfortunately, as a group, I dont think weve understood this asphalt and rubber combination, so thats the first thing we need to do.Red BullMax Verstappen (2nd): Its a great feeling to get the second Formula 1 podium of my career. For sure that was a good race today, the car was performing well, as were the tyres. I managed to overtake some cars at the start and had some good battles so that was really good fun. From there on I did my own race, Kimi was catching fast but I managed to hold him off until the end. I expected P3 but got the P2, I was surprised but very happy to pick up another position in the last lap. The safety car definitely helped us today and allowed us to make the most of the pit stops. Towards the end we had to deal with the pressure but that just means you cant make any mistakes, and we didnt today. I hit some traffic which cooled the tyres and made it a bit tricky but we finished with no problems. We are working hard for this season and picking up podiums so its definitely positive looking at 2017, and looking at Silverstone next week it should be good, the car usually performs better there than here so that is another positive after a good day today.Daniel Ricciardo (5th): I think for the team it was a really good day. We didnt expect to be on the podium here in Austria. Obviously I wish I was up there with Max, but from my side the race was a bit disappointing. At the beginning we seemed to get passed before Turn 8 which is not normal, so that was a bit frustrating but then once it settled we just werent quick. I was obviously trying to push on the tyre and then get what I could out of it. It seemed we could hold the pace, but then when everyone was improving and getting quicker and quicker we were just getting slower and slower. For now I just want to understand why and look into it. If there are things I need to do better, then I will make sure to figure that out. Im glad the Red Bull Ring and Silverstone are back to back. Its always nice when you can get back into a race straight away so hopefully Silverstone is better. Weve got a few days to work out why I wasnt quick today, but Im in the factory tomorrow so weve got time to look into it. But for now for sure it was disappointing not to be quicker.Christian Horner, Team Principal: An action-packed Austrian Grand Prix. After making good starts Max managed to get ahead of Daniel fairly early on, and having started the race on the supersofts we knew wed be in reasonable shape tyre-wise for the race. As other cars started to pit on the ultrasofts we went a few laps longer before making a stop on to the soft tyres we had. And in the cooler temperatures suddenly a one-stop became a viable option. The drivers did extremely well to start to make that happen, running in third and fourth places for large percentages of the race. Once Raikkonen managed to pass Daniel, there was nothing to lose in pitting him for the ultrasofts. In the meantime both Mercedes stopped putting Max in to the lead and he did what he could but the car was toothless in responding on the old tyres which were pretty much down to the canvas. But he managed to get the car home and was able to capitalize on the incident between the two Mercedes and take a fabulous 2nd position, and our first podium in our home race. A great grand prix and we look forward to taking that momentum to Silverstone in one weeks time.Force IndiaNico Hulkenberg (DNF): Im pretty disappointed and gutted, to be honest. It was a really tough race and nothing really worked out for us. The start wasnt great and I dropped a couple of positions on lap one, but the opening stint was very difficult because the car was sliding around and the tyres were graining. That became the story of my race because the balance of the car wasnt allowing me to manage the tyres and I was suffering with so much graining. With a new set I could manage just three of four laps before they fell away. Towards the end of the race I had some vibrations with the car and the team saw that I was critical on brake wear, which is why we retired the car in the end. We have to digest and understand what happened today and then look forward to Silverstone.Sergio Perez (DNF): Its a big shame that we retired on the last lap of the race. Im feeling sad for the team because we really deserved some points. Yesterday and today we have been really unlucky, and its frustrating because weve been competitive here with our pace. The race was going really well and I thought we had the points in our pocket. I was pushing hard to stay close to Grosjean because I knew he had a five seconds time penalty. Then, on the final lap, going into turn three, I had no brakes and went straight on. I touched the barrier and damaged the front of the car, but Im perfectly okay. Its annoying because the team did everything right today and its just bad luck which stopped our great recovery.Robert Fernley, Deputy Team Principal: Not the way we wanted to end our weekend after all of the promise we showed yesterday, but that is the harsh deal racing sometimes hands you. We looked on course to score some good points with Sergio, who had completed a great comeback to P8 from a low grid position, but unfortunately he suffered a brake problem on the last lap and ended up in the gravel. Its a shame as he would have richly deserved this result after a determined performance. Nico lost a few places at the start and then all his tyres suffered from graining. The timing of the safety car also didnt play into his hands. In the end, his race was brought to an end early as we saw some brake issues arising on his car and we called him in to retire as a precautionary measure. Its disappointing not to score, but we will regroup and try to bounce back for our home Grand Prix in Silverstone.RenaultJolyon Palmer (12th): Im quite happy with the race. We just needed that little bit of extra luck and we could have been right thhere within the points.dddddddddddd. The car was okay, it felt better than in the last round and this was probably one of my strongest races personally. Had we needed to change to soft tyres when the safety car came out, we might have been able to make a pit stop then get to the end on that set to score points. Ive been feeling stronger and stronger over the last few races and knowing we could have done well today makes me hopeful for points at the next round at Silverstone.Kevin Magnussen (14th): The car felt good today and we made a reasonable first stint. Unfortunately the safety car didnt work for us and after that we werent able to deliver the pace to get a stronger result. That said, both cars were there at the end which wasnt the same for a few teams today. The five second penalty was fair enough as I did move more than once and youre not allowed to do that; equally I didnt know which way he was looking to try to pass and sometimes its difficult to make the right call. Now were looking forward to Silverstone, which is pretty much my home track.Fred Vasseur, Racing Director: Our race pace wasnt too bad and both drivers were able to deliver what was required today. We were a little unlucky with the safety car as we had opted to run a long middle stint on the soft tyres with both cars and shortly after wed gone on to the soft Sebastian Vettel had his crash. We did struggle on the restart relative to cars on fresher tyres but we were able to make places at the end thanks to the retirements of others. Were looking forward to heading to Enstones and Virys adopted home race in Silverstone.Toro RossoCarlos Sainz (8th): Im very pleased with my race today, especially because we didnt have an easy one! We started from the back and did a good start, managing to get into the top 10 in the early stages of the race. Suddenly, after the second pit-stop during the Safety Car period, we were nearly last... Which meant we had to do a very good last stint on the Soft tyres - 35 laps - overtaking lots of cars and managing to get back into the top eight, something a bit unexpected after seeing myself back in P15 with half the race to go. After a tough Saturday, Im happy to finish the weekend with a good result as weve worked very hard for this - now we just need to make sure we have better Saturdays in order to start races further up the grid and fight for more points. Im confident we can do it a
