PHILADELPHIA -- Denard Span delivered one of the Giants biggest hits this season.Span homered leading off the 10th inning, and San Francisco beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 Thursday for just its fifth win in 14 games since the All-Star break.We needed this win more than ever, Span said.San Francisco, which lost the first two games of the series, has not been swept by Philadelphia in 10 years.Id say thats one of our bigger hits, manager Bruch Bochy said. It couldnt have come at a better time. To get a win here does a lot for the psyche and morale of the ballclub.Matt Moore made his first start for the NL West leader following his acquisition Monday from Tampa Bay. He allowed two runs and three hits in six innings and walked six -- matching his major league high.It started with Matt, Bochy said. He did a terrific job, just a great effort on his part.Moore gave up one hit through five innings and took a 2-1 lead into the sixth, when Freddy Galvis grounded into a forceout with the bases loaded. Moore then threw a called third strike past pinch-hitter Taylor Featherston.I was maybe a tad bit geared up, he said. I just kind of calmed down and got back to simple things.Span led off the 10th by sending a 2-2, 95 mph fastball from Severino Gonzalez (0-2) just inside the right-field foul pole, his third hit of the game.I was just trying to protect, he said. I felt good this series and want to build off this.Sergio Romo (1-0) earned the win without getting an out. Cesar Hernandez was caught stealing for the final out of the ninth when he overslid the base while Romo was facing his first batter.We were disappointed in that, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. He stole that base easily and slid past the bag and weve addressed that at length with him because he has a tendency to do that.Santiago Casilla pitched a 1-2-3 10th for his 25th save in 30 chances.Philadelphia starter Vince Velasquez gave up two runs and three hits in five innings.Brandon Crawford hit an RBI single in the first, but Aaron Altherrs run-scoring double tied the score in the bottom half. Span hit a sacrifice fly in the fifth.San Francisco put runners on first and second with no outs in the eighth. Brett Oberholtzer got three straight outs, the last on Altherrs diving catch on Brandon Belts sinking liner to center.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: Velasquez called for a trainer in the fifth inning after he developed a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand. The right-hander was able to pitch through the fifth, but Mackanin didnt let him go back for the sixth due to the blister.I didnt want to get him into a situation where he might miss his next start, Mackanin said. It wasnt a bad blister, but you could see it developing.EASY WINRomo is the first pitcher since 2009 to earn a victory without officially facing a batter. Colorados Alan Embree last accomplished the feat, on July 7, 2009. The previous Giants pitcher to do it was Tyler Walker on Sept. 17, 2005 against the Dodgers.WALK THIS WAYPhiladelphias Tommy Joseph walked a career-high three times. He had just 11 walks in 203 at-bats this season entering Thursday.NEXT MAN UPMackanin said 22-year-old right-hander Jake Thompson will make his first big league start Saturday at San Diego. Taken by Detroit in the second round of the 2012 amateur draft, Thompson was acquired by the Phillies last season as part of the deal that sent left-hander Cole Hamels to Texas.UP NEXTGiants: RHP Jeff Samardzija (9-7, 4.30) takes the mound for San Francisco when the Giants open a three-game series at NL East-leading Washington on Friday night.Phillies: Philadelphia begins a six-game trip on Friday night in San Diego when RHP Jeremy Hellickson (8-7, 3.70) faces LHP Christian Friedrich (4-6, 4.72).Wesley Walker Youth Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Jamal Adams Youth Jersey . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Chuma-Edoga-Jersey/ . Thousands of fans at Mosaic Stadium will be cozying up to each other in an effort to stay warm in chilly temperatures and block the Prairie wind that locals say can knock your socks off. Wayne Chrebet Jersey . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. Mark Gastineau Youth Jersey . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others.RIO DE JANEIRO -- Before the gold, before the glory, there were tears.From the coaches.Long before the stunning exhibition on Thursday night that earned her the Olympic all-around title, Simone Biles was just a prodigy in the USA Gymnastics developmental program. She and coach Aimee Boorman would travel regularly to the Karolyi Ranch about an hour north of their gym in suburban Houston. There national team coordinator Martha Karolyi and her staff would offer pointers not just to the young girls but the adults entrusted with harnessing all that talent and turning them into champions.And, Karolyi being Karolyi, the message didnt always come across with a hug and a smile.(The coaches) would go back to our rooms with each other and we would cry, Boorman said. Martha said, `I made you guys cry? `Oh Martha you have no idea.Boorman can laugh about it now that shes through it. When she woke up on Friday morning, she was the coach of the Olympic champion, one who has a legitimate shot at leaving Rio with a record five gold medals by the time event finals are over next Tuesday.Its a path Boorman and Biles carved out carefully, one helped in part by the system Karolyi put in place when she took over in 2001.There was a time where gymnasts eyeing the elite level would have to move to one of the few gyms in the country capable of giving them the proper training. It led to what Karolyi called little fights between private clubs instead of fostering a sense of team unity, so she scrapped it. Karolyi figured if she could find a way to guide the coaches as well as the athletes early in their respective careers, then the girls could stay home and still receive the mentoring needed to flourish.We wanted to give the right guidance for the young and upcoming coaches who never had anything to do with our program, Karolyi said.The proof of its success can be measured in two ways: in the 91 world championship and Olympic medals (and counting) the U.S. has won under Karolyis guidance and the length of the relationships between most members of the Final Five and their coaches.Boorman and Biles have been together 13 years. Five-time Olympic medalist Aly Raisman and Mihai Brestyan a dozen. Laurie Hernandez and Maggie Haney 11. Madison Kocian and Laurent Landi nearly a decade.Haney considers herself and Hernandez the poster children for the Talent Opportunity Program (TOPs) run by USA Gymnastics.ddddddddddddWeve literally grown through the system, Haney said. There is guidance at the top and it spreads out from there.It also created a sense of camaraderie, one where the coaches no longer get anxious when theyre in the training gym together. Those early difficult days under Karolyis tutelage bonded them in ways that resonate today.The girls talk about being a family, Boorman said. But honestly the coaches are too because weve been through this process together.It can also create its own unique challenges. Given the amount of time they spend together -- 30 hours a week or more -- for months and years on end, there are bound to be issues. Asked if there were times when she wanted to tell the exacting, no-nonsense Brestyan to get lost and Raisman just laughs.There are times I wanted to, Raisman said. There are times its just hard. There are times I didnt feel like doing it but he kept pushing. And I know he does that so I dont back down.In that way Brestyan can best be described as Karolyi Lite. Theyve know each other since coaching in Romania, and hes worked extensively at Karolyis side at the ranch for years as a mentor to coaches and athletes alike.The moment you get there, you get remolded for what youre looking for, he said. Theyre coming with the commitment, with the desire but theyre doing a lot of mistakes. We try to share our knowledge, our experiences, our mistakes to put them directly in the line you need to look and you need to go.It can be grueling and sometimes thankless work. Yet it does have its benefits.Rather than file into a tunnel underneath Rio Olympic Arena following the womens gymnastics team final, Raisman ducked away and sprinted straight for Brestyan, slipping the medal around his neck before he could protest. Two nights later after finishing runner-up to Biles in the all-around finals, Raisman did it again, paying tribute to the man who for a dozen years been equal parts mentor, coach and friend.The gesture was not lost on Brestyan. Her drive brought them together. The system and their dedication kept them together.After the results, (usually) the coaches, they dont exist, Brestyan said. Thats a hard feeling for us. But the moment before that when shes winning is the best in the world. ' ' '
