PHILADELPHIA -- Jimmy Rollins got the opportunity he wanted and delivered. Wholesale NFL Jerseys . Rollins hit an RBI single to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants in 12 innings Sunday. John Mayberry Jr. hit two solo homers for the last-place Phillies, and Nate Schierholtz hit a pair of solo shots for the NL West-leading Giants. The Phillies snapped a seven-game home losing streak and avoided their first sweep against the Giants since 2004. Brad Penny (0-1) walked Carlos Ruiz with one out in the 12th. Laynce Nix followed with a single to right to move Ruiz to third. Rollins then lined the first pitch to right to end it. "I always look forward to it," Rollins said about clutch situations. "Ive faced Brad Penny a lot. I had an idea what he wanted to do. Thats not a role hes used to." The five-time defending NL East champions are 10 1/2 games behind Atlanta in the wild-card standings. But theyre not looking ahead to next year just yet. "We have the horses now, were getting back to full strength and the pitchers have been doing a good job," Rollins said. Kyle Kendrick (4-8) tossed 2 1-3 innings to earn the win and extended his career-best scoreless streak to 18 2-3 innings. Phillies starter Joe Blanton gave up three runs and seven hits in eight innings, increasing his trade value with another strong second-half start. Since 2008, Blanton has the best record in the majors after the All-Star break at 17-5. The right-hander will be a free agent after the season, so the Phillies might move him before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline unless they start to make a run. "Everybody here is trying to win games and play the best we can," Blanton said. "Anything that happens is out of our control." San Franciscos Barry Zito allowed three runs and five hits, striking out seven in seven innings. Zito is having his best season for the Giants since signing a $126 million, seven-year contract in December 2006. "I like how hes throwing the ball," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. After Mayberry gave the Phillies their first lead, 3-2, on his second homer in the seventh, Schierholtz answered with his second in the eighth. He hit a high drive to right to tie it at 3. Blanton escaped further trouble in the inning when right fielder Hunter Pence saved two runs by making a running basket catch on Buster Poseys deep fly to right. Mayberry drove a 3-2 pitch into the seats in left to tie it at 2 in the fourth. He hadnt driven in a run in his previous 39 at-bats, going back to June 24. "At times, when he hits the ball, hes good," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. Pablo Sandovals RBI double to left-centre gave the Giants a 2-1 lead in the fourth. Schierholtz ripped a 2-0 pitch way out to right for his first career leadoff homer to give the Giants a 1-0 lead. Chase Utleys RBI triple in the bottom half tied it at 1. Zito escaped a first-and-third, one-out jam by getting Pence to ground into his 13th double play. Zito stranded runners on second and third in the third by striking out Ryan Howard on a 74 mph curveball. NOTES: Blanton has allowed 22 homers, second-most in the majors. ...

That scenario repeated itself in the first game of their AL playoff series, and now the Orioles are again forced to play catch up against their division rivals. Russell Martin led off the ninth inning with a tiebreaking home run off Jim Johnson, CC Sabathia turned in a sparkling pitching performance and the Yankees gained the upper hand with a 7-2 victory Sunday night. For eight innings, the teams engaged in a tense duel that could have gone either way. Then came the ninth inning, when the Yankees scored five runs off Johnson, Baltimores All-Star closer, to ruin the Orioles first home playoff game since 1997. "You always want to take the first one, but you go game by game," said New Yorks Robinson Cano, who contributed a two-run double in the ninth. "Enjoy this game and just go home get some sleep and be ready for (Game 2 on Monday)." The Yankees have been to the playoffs in 17 of the last 18 years. This is Baltimores first trip in 15 years, following 14 successive losing seasons. "We stayed in as long as we could," Orioles right fielder Chris Davis said. "Were finding out what playoff baseball is all about." Sabathia allowed two runs and eight hits, coming within an out of his first career complete game in the post-season. He was 0-2 in three starts against Baltimore during the regular season, but in this one the husky left-hander returned to form and improved his lifetime record against the Orioles to 17-4. "Fastball command was good, worked off that," Sabathia said. "Throwing the ball pretty good, getting the corners. Tried to stay out there and make some pitches." Sabathia is 6-1 with the Yankees in the post-season, 4-0 in the division series. With the score 2-all, Martin drove a 2-0 pitch from Johnson into the left-field seats. It was the first of four straight hits off Johnson, who led the majors with 51 saves. Raul Ibanez and Derek Jeter followed with singles, Ichiro Suzuki drove in a run with a swinging bunt and one out later, Cano hit a two-run double. In his seven prior appearances against New York, Johnson allowed one run in seven innings and had three saves. Nick Swisher capped the five-run ninth with a sacrifice fly off Tommy Hunter. "I made mistakes," Johnson said. "I obviously paid for those, and that was location. It wasnt anything else. Two fastballs that really cost us. Just have to make a better pitch. Thats all it comes down to." The Orioles were left disappointed, but manager Buck Showalter was confident his team would be in bounce-back mode Monday. "This is a very realistic club that lives in reality, but they also understand the sense of urgency," he said. "You can sit here and say you got beat by a quality pitcher, but thats why teams like that are playing this time of year. We have good, quality pitchers, too. I dont have any doubt what type of mentality our guys will have as we go forward in this series." The start of the game was delayed by rain for 2 hours, 26 minutes, and that did nothing to lessen the enthusiasm of the 47,841 fans wwho waited so long for the Orioles to play a post-season game at Camden Yards. Wholesale NHL Jerseys. "Were obviously disappointed we couldnt give them a win, but at least were playing a five-game series instead of a shootout," Davis said. Orioles starter Jason Hammel allowed two runs, four hits and four walks in 5 2-3 innings. The right-hander underwent knee surgery in July and returned to pitch two games in September before his right knee began to bother him again. After working his way back into form, Hammel donned a knee brace and gave Baltimore a solid 112-pitch outing in his first start in nearly a month. New York missed an excellent chance to take the lead in the seventh. After Troy Patton walked Martin and Ibanez, Darren ODay entered and Jeter dropped down a perfect two-strike sacrifice bunt. With the infield drawn in, Suzuki hit a sharp grounder to second baseman Robert Andino, who threw home. Matt Wieters grabbed the ball on the short hop and tagged out Martin. ODay then struck out Alex Rodriguez. Neither team got a runner in scoring position again until J.J. Hardy started the Baltimore eighth with a double. He did not advance. "Being able to get out of that with a tie and give us a chance to get up and score some runs, which we did, was just a big spot," Sabathia said. Immediately after Orioles fans cheered and waved their orange towels following a first-pitch strike by Hammel to open the game, the Yankees went to work. Jeter hit a leadoff single and Suzuki followed with an RBI double into the gap in left-centre. But Suzuki was thrown out trying to steal third, and Hammel settled down by striking out Rodriguez and retiring Cano on a broken-bat fly to right. Sabathia retired the first six batters he faced without allowing a ball out of the infield, then ran into trouble in the third inning. Davis led off with a single, Lew Ford singled and both runners moved up on a bunt before Nate McLouth bounced a two-run single into right field for a 2-1 lead. New York promptly tied it in the fourth, but another potential big inning was short-circuited when a runner was thrown out on the base paths. After Hammel walked two of the first three batters, Mark Teixeira ripped a liner off the right-field scoreboard. The hit brought home a run, but Teixeira -- who only recently returned from a strained left calf -- was thrown out at second by Davis. That left Swisher at third base with two outs, and after an intentional walk to Curtis Granderson, Martin hit a fly to centre. Singles by Davis and Andino put runners at the corners with one out in the fifth before McLouth looked at a third strike and Hardy grounded out. NOTES: Andy Pettitte will bring 42 games of playoff experience into Game 2 as the starting pitcher for the Yankees. Orioles rookie Wei-Yin Chen will be making his post-season debut. ... Wieters went 0 for 4 against Sabathia and now is 5 for 28 (.179) lifetime against him. ... In 16 career division series openers, Jeter is batting .448 (26 for 58) and reached base in 15 games. ... Suzuki has at least one hit in 10 of his 11 career post-season games and has reached base in all of them. Hes also hit in 20 straight games at Camden Yards, a streak that began in 2008. ' ' '
