SAN FRANCISCO - Juan Perez is trying to convince the San Francisco Giants to keep him around when injured centre fielder Angel Pagan returns from the disabled list. A couple more performances like this one, and its going to be hard to return him to the minors. Perez threw out a runner at the plate and then hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the eighth, helping the Giants end the San Diego Padres seven-game winning streak with a 5-4 victory on Tuesday night. "Hes been quite the sparkplug that we seemed to have needed," said Sergio Romo, who pitched the ninth for his 17th save. "Hes showing us who he is and what he can do, and thats what you like to see out of young guys like that." Perez was initially called up as a temporary fix while Pagan recovered from a hamstring strain, but the rookie is batting .421 (8 for 19) in seven games since joining the Giants on June 7. Defensively, he already has four assists. With Pagan possibly beginning a rehabilitation assignment this week, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy could have a dilemma on his hands. "Well cross that bridge when we get to it but you have to like the things that (Perez) is doing," Bochy said. "Hes doing all he can to stay here, Ill say that. As soon as Angels ready to go, well probably have a tough decision to make." Buster Posey started the San Francisco comeback with a leadoff single. After Hunter Pence struck out, Brandon Belt doubled in pinch runner Andres Torres. Nick Noonan was intentionally walked and Joaquin Arias lined out to centre before Perez rolled a single just past second baseman Logan Forsythe for the go-ahead score. "I was just trying to put the ball in play and make something happen," Perez said. "I just have to keep enjoying myself and try to help the team win. After that theyll make the decision." Belt finished with three hits for the Giants, who moved into a second-place tie with Colorado in the NL West. Jean Machi (2-0) retired one batter for the win. Perezs clutch swing came after pinch hitter Jesus Guzman gave San Diego a 4-3 lead with a two-run homer in the top half of the inning. "Every game we lose is tough; this is more so because we just moved into third place," Guzman said. "This was a game we had to win, but in this ballpark its hard to beat those guys." Nick Hundley and Logan Forsythe homered for San Diego. The Padres entered with an NL-leading 17 come-from-behind wins and were in position to add to that total before the Giants rallied. Perez also made a key play in the seventh when he threw out Mark Kotsay at home plate after Kotsay had doubled leading off the inning. "Hes come up and really been a shot in the arm for us," Bochy said of Perez. "Hes something we need right now." Marco Scutaro had two hits in his return to San Franciscos lineup. Gregor Blanco and Posey also had two hits apiece. The wild finish was in stark contrast to the first part of the game, when San Francisco ace Matt Cain and Andrew Cashner were locked in a pitchers duel. Cain had a season-high 10 strikeouts in seven innings and was charged with two runs and six hits. He retired 15 straight at one point. Cashner scattered 10 hits over 6 2-3 innings and allowed three runs. He struck out six and walked one. "I threw the ball well, though there were a couple of pitches Id like back," Cashner said. "The big thing for me was to keep the ball on the ground because the wind was blowing out." San Francisco beat Cashner in his first start of the season and jumped on him early in this one. Blanco drew a leadoff walk, stole second and took third on Scutaros comebacker. Posey then blooped a single into short right to drive in Blanco. Belt and Noonan opened the fourth with back-to-back singles. Belt then scored on a double-play grounder to make it 2-0. Cain was unable to hold onto the lead. Coming off an impressive outing against Pittsburgh in his previous start, the right-hander retired 15 straight after allowing a single to Forsythe in the first. He was cruising until the sixth. Hundley ended Cains run with his fifth homer of the season, a towering shot to left that made it 2-1. One out later, Forsythe belted a drive to left-centre. San Franciscos defence provided a spark after Kotsays hit in the seventh. Chris Denorfia followed with a single to centre but Perez threw out a sliding Kotsay at home. Blanco hit an RBI single off Cashner in the seventh but the Padres grabbed the lead on Guzmans second pinch-hit homer of the season.
