PHOENIX -- Tim Lincecum loses to Arizona and Ian Kennedy beats San Francisco. Those facts persisted through all of last season and carried over to the reigning NL West champion Diamondbacks 5-4 season-opening victory over the Giants on Friday night. Chris Young and Paul Goldschmidt hit first-inning home runs, then Ryan Roberts two-run double broke a sixth-inning tie as Arizona defeated Lincecum (0-1) for the fourth time in a row. "I left a floating change-up up there in the middle of the plate and a fastball that wasnt executed well," Lincecum said. "With the exception of that first inning I settled down pretty well and did all right, but all right isnt good enough on opening day." Kennedy (1-0) allowed three runs on nine hits in 6 2-3 innings to beat the Giants for the fourth straight decision. Lincecum had said this week that this could be a "statement" game between two teams that expect to contend for the division title. With 161 games to play, it probably says no more than that Arizona is 1-0 and San Francisco 0-1. But the way it was accomplished reminded a lot of the capacity Chase Field crowd of last years surprising worst-to-first run by the Diamondbacks. "Its good to see everybody pick up where they left off," Roberts said. "Its been a long spring but to come out today and have everybody have success up and down the lineup is nice." Pablo Sandovals RBI double with two outs in the ninth pulled the Giants within a run, but J.J. Putz got Buster Posey on a grounder to earn the save. Melky Cabrera hit a two-run homer in his first game for San Francisco after coming over in a trade with Kansas City. Posey, the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year, singled twice. The young star catcher also walked in his first game back after the brutal left leg injury sustained in a home plate collision last May 25 with Floridas Scott Cousins. "Buster looked fine," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He is not showing any ill effects of what happened, so that is behind us." Kennedy had just three strikeouts and two walks. "I wasnt real happy with my command," he said. "It wasnt the greatest. Im just really happy how I battled all the way through against a good team." After watching the Diamondbacks celebrate their division crown with a clinching victory over San Francisco last Sept. 23 at Chase Field, the Giants waited through a pregame ceremony while Arizona unveiled a big letter "A" sign designating the title. Then the Diamondbacks got to Lincecum in a hurry. Willie Bloomquist led off with a single and Young, who hit .400 this spring with five home runs, hit a 2-2 pitch into the left-field seats. Young hadnt batted No. 2 in the order all season, but thats where he saw his name when he arrived at the park on Friday. Manager Kirk Gibson doesnt reveal his lineup to his team until the day of the game. "I wouldnt be surprised to be hitting second one day, to be hitting fifth the next day and leading off the other day," Young said. "As long as you show up ready to go, it really wont catch you off guard." Lincecum struck out Justin Upton and Miguel Montero, but Goldschmidts towering home run to left on a 3-1 pitch made it 3-0. It was Goldschmidts third home run in 10 at-bats against the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner. "I dont know," Goldschmidt said. "I was able to get a good hitters count 3-1 today and get a fastball to hit. As with any pitcher, you try to get a good pitch to hit. Its only been a few ABs, so hopefully theyll be a lot more to come." San Francisco got close in the fifth when Angel Pagan led off with a double, and Cabreras line drive to right bounced off the top of the fence in right and over for a home run. The Giants tied it at 3 in the sixth after singles by Aubrey Huff and Brandon Belt. Ryan Theriot advanced the runners with a sacrifice bunt, and Huff scored on Brandon Crawfords groundout. But Arizona regained the lead its next time up. Upton doubled and advanced to third on a deep fly out by Montero. Goldschmidt walked and Jason Kubel reached when Posey couldnt handle his spinning hit in front of the plate. With the bases loaded, Roberts lined a double into the left-field corner for a 5-3 lead, ending Lincecums evening. NOTES: Young hit his second career opening day HR. The first was in 2008. ... Giants RHP Ryan Vogelsong threw three innings in a rehab start in the opener for Triple-A Fresno Thursday night, allowing no runs on three hits in four innings, striking out six and walking three. ... The Giants and Diamondbacks met in a season opener for the first time. ... San Francisco 1B prospect Angel Villalonas option to Class A San Jose was cancelled because of his continuing visa problems in the Dominican Republic. The Giants say Villalona was placed on the Major League Baseball restricted list pending further developments. ... The attendance of 49,130 was the third-largest opening day crowd at Chase Field and fourth largest for any game there.

Kenneth Faried added 13 points and had three alley-oop dunks as Denver won for the seventh time in nine games after a horrible start to the season.ANAHEIM – The horrors of minus-29 still ring in the ears of Tyler Bozak. But for all the tumult of an unseemly sophomore season, which saw him finish amongst the leagues cellar dwellers in plus/minus, the 25-year-old may have been better for it. "I wish it wasnt," Bozak said of his rollercoaster second season, "but for me I think it helped a great deal. "I think last year when I lost a lot of confidence is when I played my worst, so I kind of learned how to keep that high through tough times and good times." Bozak scored twice in a 5-2 win over the Ducks on Sunday night, giving him five goals in the last five games and 11 points in ten games on the top line. Initially just a stop-gap for the injured Tim Connolly, Bozak has stuck alongside Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul in first-line duty despite Connollys return to the lineup five games ago. "Im confident," Bozak said. "I think I can play with those guys. I think I can play in that position." "Hes having some success now," Lupul added. "When youre scoring and having some success it always makes the game a little bit easier. "He took some criticism last year and even at the start of this year. Hes just shown what type of character he has to keep going." Five Points 1. Jonas Gustavsson made 26 saves for his fourth consecutive victory. "The Monsters played really well," Ron Wilson said after the Leafs wrapped up a four-game road trip with a third straight victory. "That gives us the opportunity to make sure whenever we decide Reims has the conditioning to go back in that hell be 100 percent ready to go." Gustavsson is 5-1-0 in November with a 2.45 goals against average and .914 save percentage. "You want to win," Gustavsson said, "thats why you play. And every win feels really good." 2. Lupul extended his point streak to six games with a pair of assists (10 points), also sliding into a tie with Jonathan Toews for the most points in November (18). "Yeah it surprised me quite a bit," Lupul said. "Obviously I dont think of myself in that category with the top scorers in the league. Im confident in my ability and in my skill, but Ive got to do lots of other things to have success; go to the net hard, win puck battles, thats a little more my game and when I get open ice I can make some plays too." Lupul jumped into a tie with Claude Giroux for second in the scoring race (29 points), just two points behind Kessel. The 29-year-old is also the team leader in road points, totaling 15 in 13 games. 3. Keith Aulie made the trip cross-continent on Saturday morning to arrive in time for Sundays game against the Ducks. Aulie was with the Marlies in St. Johns, Newfoundland when word arrived that he might be needed in California. "[Saturday] morning they called me in the hotel and said Good news, youre going across the country, going across the continent so the journey started then," Aulie ssaid, prior to the game.dddddddddddd The Saskatchewan native took a morning flight from St. Johns to Toronto, endured a four-hour layover before arriving in Los Angeles shortly before 10pm. With Carl Gunnarssons status up in the air, the Leafs were in need of a defenceman capable of playing big minutes with Dion Phaneuf; the two formed a capable partnership down the stretch last season. Aulie was a late cut at training camp this fall. "Obviously I was upset, but youve got to translate that into work ethic," said the 22-year-old, who recently returned from a minor injury. "Ive felt really good lately. I feel like I was being real physical and being tough to play against and playing a lot against other teams top lines." Aulie logged 16:19 alongside Phaneuf on Sunday evening. 4. Clarke MacArthur has found his lucky charm. MacArthur scored his third goal in as many games, all with his parents, Dean and Deborah, in the crowd. The 26-year-olds parents are out to visit as many road arenas as possible, stopping to watch their son in Carolina and Tampa, before concluding the road trip in Anaheim on Sunday. Eight of MacArthurs nine goals this season have come on the road. 5. Gunnarsson (hand) and David Steckel (hand) became the ninth and tenth Leafs to miss a game with injury this month. But despite the rash of injuries, the Leafs are set to exit November above .500 (7-5-1) with a game against the Bruins on Wednesday. Depth in the organization has been greatly demonstrated with Joey Crabb (five goals), Joe Colborne (four points), Matt Frattin, Ben Scrivens and of late, the embattled Gustavsson, demonstrating their worth in expanded roles. "All we ask everybody who comes in is to understand what our identity is, identify with it and play to it and weve done that really well," Wilson said. "We try to go on the attack every single time were on the ice so I think its a fun way to play. And its an entertaining way to play. Sometimes you trade chance for chance [and] maybe we give up more shots or goals against than we should, but we want to have fun when we go out there and I think the players are really enjoying it right now." Mikhail Grabovski returned to the lineup after missing five games, playing in fourth-line duty alongside Jay Rosehill and Phillipe Dupuis for much of the night. Both Steckel and Gunnarsson are expected to return on Wednesday. Bonus Points For the second consecutive game, it was rookie Jake Gardiner leading the Leafs in ice-time. Gardiner clocked in at 25:15, two nights after logging nearly 29 minutes in a shootout win over Dallas…Connolly extended his point streak to five games with an assist (eight points)…Luke Schenn scored his first goal of the season into an empty-net, logging over 20 minutes (plus-3) for the second consecutive game…John-Michael Liles added two more assists on Sunday. The 31-year-old has 13 points on the road this season, but only three at home. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
