CINCINNATI - The Giants bid goodbye to Cincinnati with high-fives.
Dwight
Howard Hornets Jersey . They havent done that very often. Left-hander
Madison Bumgarner got his career-high sixth straight win, and San Francisco beat
the Reds 6-1 on Thursday afternoon, taking a series in Cincinnati for the first
time in five years. San Francisco moved a season-high 18 games over .500 with
its 11th win in 14 games. The Giants have the best record in the majors at
39-21. After making four errors in the series opener and falling 8-3, the Giants
were reminded that theyve had a tough time in Great American Ball Park the last
couple of years. They won the next two games and moved on with smiles for a
change. "Its been a tough park for us," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Gosh, between
our defence and our pitching, we hadnt had a lot of success here. Of course we
did bounce back at a critical time in 2012 (playoffs), but I know weve had some
of our worst baseball here. "So it was good, particularly after losing the first
game the way we did, to bounce back and play the type of ball we did the next
two days." Cincinnati has been one of their most dreaded stops. The Giants won a
series in Cincinnati for the first time since August 18-20, 2009. Theyve dropped
11 of their last 14 in Cincinnati during the regular season. The one bright
moment was their division series win in Cincinnati in 2012, the starting point
for their World Series title. Bumgarner (8-3) gave up three hits in eight
innings, including Todd Fraziers homer, and retired the last 16 batters he
faced. Hes 6-0 in his last seven starts, the best such streak of his career.
Michael Morse hit a two-run homer, and Brandon Crawford broke out of a slump
with a three-run shot off Mike Leake (3-5), who had overwhelmed the Giants the
last four times he faced them. Bumgarner was the NLs Pitcher of the Month in May
and carried it into June with another stingy performance on the road. Bumgarner
has allowed three or fewer runs in each of his last 20 road starts, a franchise
record. The Reds came out swinging and got two of their three hits in the first
inning. Once Bumgarner saw what was happening, he changed his approach early in
the count and got them hitting the ball on the ground. "They came out
aggressive," said Bumgarner, who retired 23 of the last 24 he faced. "After that
first inning, when they came out swinging, I made some adjustments and the
defence was phenomenal. They made a lot of good plays. "Today was the best you
can hope for, really. I got a lot of quick outs and got the team back in the
dugout." George Kontos retired the side in the ninth as the final 19 Reds went
in order. Cincinnati didnt have a base runner after Frazier singled with two
outs in the third inning. They won the series by finally getting to Leake, who
was 4-0 in his last four starts against the Giants while allowing only three
earned runs. Leake lasted only five innings and gave up eight hits, a walk and
five runs. Morse homered for the second straight game, connecting for his
team-high 13th homer in the second inning. That ended Leakes streak of six
straights without giving up a homer. Crawfords seventh homer in the fourth
inning was his first since May 21. The shortstop was in a 4 for 32 slump.
Pablo Sandoval singled three times and scored a pair of runs, improving to 11
for 17 career against Leake with two homers. Hunter Pence extended his hitting
streak to six games. Frazier hit his team-high 12th homer in the first inning,
his second homer in two games. Hes got a six-game hitting streak that includes
three homers. NOTES: The Giants open a 10-game homestand against the Mets,
Nationals and Rockies on Friday. Matt Cain (1-3) will be activated off the DL to
face Jonathon Niese (3-3). ... The Reds continue their 10-game homestand against
the Phillies, with Johnny Cueto (5-4) going against LHP Cole Hamels (1-3). ...
Reds manager Bryan Price won a challenge in the third. Umpire Larry Vanover
decided that Brayan Pena pulled his foot off first base while reaching for a
throw, leaving Buster Posey safe. The call was overturned on review. ... The
Reds are undecided on whether RHP Mat Latos, who left a rehab start on Wednesday
night after 67 pitches because of a calf cramp, will need to make one more start
in the minors before hes activated.

took a hard hit when FC Dallas blew open a tie game with two goals in the final
minutes for a 3-1 victory Saturday night.COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Lightning struck
outside a soccer stadium before an MLS game, sending an off-duty firefighter who
went into cardiac arrest to the hospital and forcing the postponement of the
Columbus Crews game against FC Dallas. The lightning strike was in the parking
lot of Crew Stadium on Saturday night, but its not known if the off-duty
lieutenant was struck directly, Columbus Fire Department Battalion Chief Tracy
Smith said. The firefighter, identified as Lt. Stu Tudor, had to be
resuscitated, and was listed Sunday morning in critical condition in the
intensive care unit at the Ohio State Medical Center, Smith said. She said it
takes between two and three days to determine the total effects of a possible
lightning strike. The storm with heavy rain and lightning bursts rolled through
about 15 minutes before the scheduled 8 p.m. kickoff. Fans were told to evacuate
the stands and head toward the concourses of the double-decked stadium.

was taking cover during heavy rain in a portable toilet when he said he felt
electricity run through the air and then heard someone in the toilet next to him
call 911 to report that someone had been hit by lightning. "All of a sudden it
was just a bomb that went off," Lewis told the newspaper. "I knew it was close.
The electricity ran through me." He said he saw a man lying on the ground when
he got out of the toilet. "He was purple and had his shirt ripped off," Lewis
said. Crew owner Anthony Precourt said on Twitter that team was sorry about the
postponement, but that fans safety "is of the utmost importance." Precourt also
said he was praying for the injured firefighter. The game was rescheduled for 2
p.m. Sunday. The National Weather Service forecast more showers and
thunderstorms Sunday, but said they are likely to occur after 5 p.m.
