SAN FRANCISCO -- Cardinals manager Mike Matheny refused to point to a pregame team meeting as being the inspiration for his ballclubs ninth-inning comeback.First baseman Matt Adams pointed out the playoff-type atmosphere of the game, while Stephen Piscotty noted his teams matter-of-fact approach.Whatever it was, St. Louis gave its postseason hopes a big boost.Kolten Wong hit a sacrifice fly that capped a two-run ninth inning and the Cardinals rallied for a key win in their playoff chase, beating the San Francisco Giants 3-2 Saturday night.The Cardinals further tightened the NL wild-card race -- the Giants and Mets are tied for the top two spots, with St. Louis trailing by two games.Just some great at-bats late, Matheny said. A lot of different guys jumped in and made it happen. We needed it.The Cardinals had lost three straight and held a team meeting prior to the game. No one was willing to talk about the theme of the meeting or what was said.This whole year weve fought back and this was a great example of that, Piscotty said. Even if we didnt (win) were still right in the thick of it. The fact that we did win is huge.Jedd Gyorko singled with one out in the ninth off Sergio Romo. Santiago Casilla (2-5) walked Yadier Molina before Randal Grichuk hit a tying single.Jose Martinez, pinch-running for Molina, took third on the hit and easily scored on Wongs fly.Seung Hwan Oh (5-3) retired six batters for the win.Brandon Moss hit his 27th homer for the Cardinals.Hunter Pence singled twice and Brandon Belt added an RBI double for the Giants, who fell five games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.Giving up the up the walk is what hurt, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Thats a tough one. We played well.Giants starter Jeff Samardzija allowed one run and five hits with four strikeouts and four walks over 6 2/3 innings.St. Louis starter Mike Leake, who pitched his first career shutout during his final start of 2015 while with the Giants, allowed two runs over six innings.DEFENSIVE GEMAdams might not be the most nimble of infielders but the Cardinals first baseman flexed his defensive skills in the second inning when he made a diving catch on Denard Spans liner, then quickly scrambled to the bag to double off Eduardo Nunez. Adams later left the game with a jammed left wrist. I felt it when I swung the next time up, Adams said.GOLD MEDAL MOMENTOlympic gold medal-winning gymnast Aly Raisman, competing in nearby San Jose as part of a champions tour, threw out the ceremonial first pitch after spending time with several members of the Giants before the game. Raisman -- who said she has only spent four days at home since returning from the Olympics -- took pictures with Angel Pagan, and got tips from pitcher Johnny Cueto and hitting coach Hensley Meulens while sporting a Giants jersey.I went to a lot of (Boston Red Sox) games with my dad growing up, Raisman said. Im excited to be here. It was crazy when I came here and players know who I am.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: The team isnt sure what the next step will be for OF Matt Holliday after he called off plans to bat in a simulated game earlier in the day because of swelling in his right thumb.

RENTON, Wash. -- A day after he was yanked from practice for the second time this summer, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett said a dirty play by left tackle Bradley Sowell was the source of his anger.Definitely theres a fine line in the NFL where a guy beats a guy or he beats that guy, but then when it goes beyond after the play, dirty kind of plays at practice, I think thats where it crosses the line, Bennett said.For me, I dont really treat the game like a game. I treat it as a job, and its for feeding my family. So if I feel like a guys doing something to injure, I feel like hes taking food out of my daughters mouth or my wifes, so I take that to heart. So that drives me insane, especially if were on the same team. But if were on the same team, I feel like we should respect each other as much where were not trying to hurt each other. I think everybodys a valuable part of the team. Everybody should be treated valuably on the team at the end of the day.Bennett and Sowell mixed it up during a one-on-one drill Sunday. After initially being separated, Bennett charged Sowell a second time.Coach Pete Carroll sidelined both players for the remainder of practice.Just two people competing, Sowell said. Those are two personalities that when they go against each other, it can be very vicious. We both like to win. Its honestly an honor to get to go against someone like Michael Bennett thats going to make you so much better. But it just got a little heated.At the end of the day, I love Mike. Hes one of my favorite players in the NFL. Ive enjoyed watching him over the years. So we talked it out real quick and we were sitting there having lunch together. So its nothing big.Bennett said he respects Sowell but that players have to look out for each other when it comes to avoidingg injuries.dddddddddddd.Theres a code in the NFL, Bennett said. There are a lot of problems with the NFL when it comes to injuries and concussions and stuff like that, but I feel like a lot of the time its the players that can really control what happens to each other.I think there is a code where we have to find that line of where it is where it becomes [more] about the other persons safety than it is about the game. So thats where it goes to about the persons family. I think thats the fine line in the NFL where you have to draw the line where we arent trying to injure each other but we are trying to win the game. So at the end of the day you always have to find that line.Bennett wanted a new contract this offseason but decided to show up to training camp on time. Earlier this month, Carroll threw him out of practice for a similar incident with offensive linemen.Bennett said hes working to live a more peaceful life, but that doesnt extend to the field.Every day Ive decided to live a stress-free life, peaceful, Bennett said. The more peaceful you are, the less stressful you are, the younger you are. I think thats where you need to be at to feel young and not feel old when youre getting older. So I work really hard to be peaceful and have a great day every day and not get stressed out. Why be stressed out? Im young, Im black and Im rich in America. I cannot complain.Here is a whole other arena. This is the actual gladiator arena so you cant come out here and be too peaceful out here. Youll get hurt. But at the end of the day when I go home, I try to be as peaceful as I can. Ive got three daughters. I play with them. I play with the dogs, so Im happy. ' ' '
