LOS ANGELES -- Bruce Bochy isnt pushing the panic button yet.With 37 games remaining for the San Francisco Giants and the club trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers by only two games despite its recent performances, it is too early for that.However, Bochy, the Giants manager, knows his team needs to turn things around soon.Theres a lot of baseball left, Bochy said. As I said, this series is not going to determine it all, but at the same time, and how its been going, we know we need to start rolling here and get back to who we are.That didnt happen Tuesday night. Bochy and the Giants performed much like the same team that has played more poorly than any since the All-Star break. San Francisco dropped a 9-5 decision to the rival Dodgers in the opener of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.Right-hander Johnny Cueto (14-3, 2.90 ERA) will try to help Bochy and the Giants right the ship Wednesday when he faces Dodgers lefty Rich Hill (9-3, 2.25 ERA).Cueto earned his first win of the second half in his last start by beating the New York Mets on Friday. Cueto allowed a run and scattered eight hits in seven innings. He struck out two and walked none in an 8-1 victory.Against the Dodgers, Cueto is 2-0 with a 3.63 ERA this season.Hill, acquired by Los Angeles along with right fielder Josh Reddick from the Oakland Athletics at the trade deadline, will be making his Los Angeles debut. He spent the past month on the disabled list with blisters on his middle pitching finger.Were excited about that, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Hills first start.Hill last faced the Giants as a member of the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 22, 2007. Although he didnt factor into the decision, Hill fanned 10 and gave up two runs on six hits in seven innings of a 4-2 Cubs win.San Francisco (68-57) has lost three in a row and seven of its past nine games. The Giants had the best record in the majors at the All-Star break at 57-33 but have stumbled to the worst mark since then, 11-24.Despite it all, the Giants have remained within sniffing distance of the Dodgers (70-55). Los Angeles is riding a three-game winning streak.I think its going to be important we get cracking. Its been a struggle since the break for us, Bochy said. The record shows it, and you look at some of the numbers and some things are hard to explain, but it is what it is. Thats behind us. Hopefully, something will spur us to get back to where we were in the first half.Roberts is as surprised as anyone regarding the Giants struggles, but his club is benefitting.Its a very good team over there, Roberts said. And considering how theyve played in the first half and the (win-loss record) in the second half, yeah its a surprise. That just shows that every game is tough to win.

This will be the eighth race this season on a short track, and for the purposes of fantasy note-taking, Im going to count short tracks as anything shorter than 1.1 miles, opposed to the official definition of less than a mile.Heres what you need to know about the previous seven races: Five of them were won by a Joe Gibbs Racing driver (two by Matt Kenseth, two by Carl Edwards, the other by Kyle Busch) and the other two were won by Kevin Harvick.Hey Matt, you handsome devil, you might say, what aabout the other daily fantasy scoring categories?Excellent question.ddddddddddddThe top five in laps led per race were the three JGR drivers, Harvick and Furniture Row Racings Martin Truex Jr. FRR is a satellite team to JGR, and essentially running the same equipment. In fastest laps per race, its Harvick at the top, followed by three JGR drivers.Check out this chart! ' ' '
