LOS ANGELES -- San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy hopes a gut-check victory Tuesday will be the boost his club needs as it fights for its playoff life.The Giants buckled down for a pivotal, 2-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, just one night after a ninth-inning meltdown in a 2-1 loss seemed to send the San Francisco into a freefall.Instead of finding themselves on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, the Giants (80-71) go into Wednesdays action tied with the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals in the National League wild-card race.They also pulled within five games of the Dodgers in the NL West. So a victory at Chavez Ravine would not only give San Francisco a win in the three-games series but would keep alive the teams hopes in the division, given the Giants host Los Angeles Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 in the final series of the season.Its going to be a dogfight the rest of the way, Bochy said after his team snapped a three-game losing streak. But tonight we grinded one out and got the job done, and thats a good start. Its the type of win you can build on, and we know we have guys who have gotten the job done before.If theyre going to build on that momentum, theyve got the right guy on the hill. Lefty Matt Moore carries an 11-11 record, but he has saved his best stuff for the stretch drive. Moore sports a 4-1 record in his past five starts. That included a workmanlike effort in his last start on Friday against St. Louis, in which he allowed two runs in five innings of an 8-2 San Francisco victory.Even better, he has found success against the Dodgers. Moore is 2-1 in three starts against them this season, holding them scoreless for 15 1/3 innings at one point.The Dodgers will counter with rookie sensation Kenta Maeda (15-9). The 28-year-old right-hander from Osaka, Japan, recorded his 15th win of the season in his last start, Sept. 16 at Arizona. In five innings, Maeda struck out six and allowed one run on three hits, getting the decision in Los Angeles 3-2 victory.The win put Maeda within two of the Dodgers rookie record set by Rick Sutcliffe in 1979, as he has really come into his own toward the end of the season. Maeda is 7-2 in his past 10 starts, over which he has limited batters to a .222 average while whiffing 53 and walking just 13.The Giants have found Maeda tough to solve; he has won both starts against San Francisco this year.The Dodgers have dropped two of the past three games, but they are still in the drivers seat, with a magic number of seven to clinch the division.Well just keep plugging away, manager Dave Roberts said. You cant let yourself get too high or too low. Jose Ramirez Jersey .

Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself.

Its going to be a very Merry Christmas at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea have guaranteed themselves the top spot in the Premier League table come the holiday on the strength of their current 10-match winning streak.And history portends good things for the future as well heading into their match Saturday against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.Chelsea (13-1-2) moved six points clear of the field after grinding past Sunderland 1-0 on Wednesday. Cesc Fabregas made the most of a rare start by producing the lone goal in the first half, and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois preserved the three points in second-half stoppage time by denying Patrick Van Aanholt.The 10 victories on the trot equal Chelseas longest single-season win streak in club history, and the overall team mark of 11 that bridged the 2007-08 and 2008-09 campaigns is in their sights. On the horizon in this busy fixture period is the overall Premier League record of 14 set by Arsenal over the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons.To win 10 games in a row is not easy and I am pleased for my players. Its fantastic, above all in this league when you have to fight in every game until the end to take the three points, manager Antonio Conte said after Wednesdays win.It will mark the fifth time in the Premier League era Chelsea will be atop the table come Christmas Day, and the previous four times, the Blues went on to win the title.We are doing something important up to now, but the league didnt finish today, Conte added. We are on top of the table but there are still three games before the end of the first part of the season. This league is very tough and until the end it will be a great battle between six teams.Contes midfield issues may wind up solving themselves by the time the January transfer window starts. Fabregas, who had been rumoured to be on the move, may wind up staying in West London, while Oscar -- the odd man out after Conte switched to his preferred 3-4-3 formation -- is the subject of a stunning ￡60 million transfer offer from Chinese side Shanghai SIPG and one-time Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas.Oscars reported ￡20 million post-tax salary that would come with the move would make him the third-highest paid football player in the world behind only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Conte did not refute any of the reports in his Thursday news conference, and he also singled out Fabregas for the veteran midfielders professionalism and ressults of late.ddddddddddddThis month he has a fantastic attitude, great behaviour, great commitment, Conte said. I have four midfielders and I have to try and make the best choice before every game, and consider also when we have to face a physical opponent and when we need more technique.Conte is expected to restore Eden Hazard to the starting XI after giving the Belgium international the day off Wednesday.While Christmas has come early for Chelsea, it feels like 2016 has been one big lump of coal for Crystal Palace (4-3-9). Aside from their stunning run to the FA Cup final, which they lost in heartbreaking fashion after extra time to Manchester United, Palaces domestic form has been sorely lacking.The Eagles are 1-2-7 in their last 10 and have dropped to 16th in the table, ahead of Middlesbrough on goal difference. Crystal Palace suffered a hard-luck 2-1 defeat to United on Wednesday courtesy of Zlatan Ibrahimovics goal in the 88th minute. Manager Alan Pardew was justifiably irked at some refereeing decisions and non-calls that went against his team.I have to look at my team and say that we were committed tonight, Pardew told Palaces official website. The decision (for the first goal) was a tough one for us, and there were a couple of bad ones in that half against us.In the second half we had a good little spell and got a great goal but it was a shame we couldnt kick on from there, and we were undone by two of the best players.If there is a saving grace for Pardew, its that Palace have scored 17 goals in their last eight games and their 28 for the season rank fifth in the league. Theyve also shipped 22 in those eight contests, and a creaky defence that has yielded 66 goals in the calendar year is a key reason Palace are 6-8-21 in league play in 2016 and Pardew is on the hot seat.We need to be sure were ready for Chelsea because we know the quality they have, said James MacArthur, who pulled Palace level after the hour mark. We need to frustrate them and keep trying to score because thats the real positive of our team this year.The road team won each game last season, with Chelsea running out 3-0 winners on goals by Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa. Palaces 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge was just their second in 14 Premier League matches (2-2-10) between the teams. ' ' '
