SAN FRANCISCO -- Buster Poseys 1,000th hit came on a home run that bounced off the top of the wall and over. The fan who grabbed the souvenir ball gladly returned it, and Posey offered a bat in trade.That kind of good fortune is exactly what the San Francisco Giants need this final week as they make a playoff push -- and more of the same kind of offensive production from up and down the lineup.Hunter Pence went deep one batter after Posey in the fifth inning during a 19-hit night for San Francisco, and the Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 12-3 on Tuesday.Its a cool accomplishment, Posey said. I think back of being a kid and thinking about, the opportunity to play in the major leagues was a dream come true, so to have 1,000 hits is kind of hard to believe.Brandon Crawford tripled twice for San Francisco, which remained a half-game behind the Mets for the top NL wild card and one game up on the Cardinals for the second spot.Matt Moore (12-12) matched his career high with 11 strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings, rebounding from his worst start this season.Posey and Pence hit consecutive solo shots, the fifth time the Giants have had back-to-back homers this year. Each player drove in two runs on the night. Conor Gillaspie added a two-run homer in the eighth.Crawford had two triples in a game for the first time -- one driving in two runs in the eighth -- among his four hits. Brandon Belt tripled, doubled, hit an RBI single and scored two runs for the Giants after manager Bruce Bochy called on his team to get going offensively for this crucial, final week.Not so much different than the Giants challenges down the stretch in their World Series-winning years of 2010, 12 and 14.Its fun, Bochy said. It really is. We wish we were in better position.Joe Panik had a triple, an RBI double and a single. Angel Pagan added two hits, including a run-scoring single, and an RBI groundout.All three NL wild-card contenders won by scoring 12 runs. In fact, Bochy told hitting coach Hensley Meulens hed better have his hitters ready.Hopefully, this gets this offense clicking a little bit, Bochy said. Were going to have to score runs. Were playing good teams and they swing the bat. It will be important we get this offense going a little bit. Thats gotten away from us. Thats my hope, it is something they can build on.Moore was knocked out after only an inning -- the second-shortest start of the leftys career -- in a 9-3 loss at the Dodgers last Wednesday, allowing six runs on seven hits.

According to a report from the Vancouver Province, the Lions are expected to replace former DC Rich Stubler with defensive backs coach Mark Washington. OXON HILL, Md. -- Three decades after collusion, Andre Dawson put past feelings aside and voted to induct Bud Selig into the Hall of Fame.For me, it was a no-brainer, the Hall of Fame outfielder said Monday.I vote based on the big picture, Dawson said. What he accomplished as commissioner, when you think about a guy of his stature, you really cant do anything perfectly, Dawson said.Dawson, inducted into the Hall in 2010, was among the victims when owners conspired against free agents following the 1985, 1986 and 1987 seasons, which led to a $280 million settlement between Major League Baseball and the players association.He took a $1 million pay cut after the 1986 season to leave the Montreal Expos and join the Chicago Cubs. His agent offered a fill-in-the-blank contract, and then general manager Dallas Green wrote in a $500,000 salary, and $200,000 in bonus opportunities, all of which Dawson earned as he won the NL MVP award in 1987.Selig was head of baseballs labor policy when owners were found to have conspired against free agents. Despite Dawsons setback in those days, he said he put Selig on his ballot.Im a firm beliiever in due justice.dddddddddddd Whats fair is fair, Dawson said, adding there was no doubt in my mind he shouldve been a permanent fixture as a Hall of Famer.Limping because of a stress fracture in a tibia, Selig appeared at a news conference Monday along with longtime Atlanta Braves general manager John Schuerholz, who also was elected Sunday by the Todays Game Era veterans committee.Schuerholz was a unanimous pick, and Selig appeared on 15 of 16 ballots from a committee that included six Hall of Fame players: Dawson, Roberto Alomar, Dennis Eckersley, Ozzie Smith, Don Sutton and Frank Thomas. There also were six executives, Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox and three media members.Selig didnt worry about his role in collusion would impact his vote total.Did I think that may stop me? I dont know, Selig said Sunday. I was not the commissioner during that era, obviously. And that was in fact well before, well before, my commissionership.---AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum contributed to this report. ' ' '
