SAN FRANCISCO -- Jhonny Peralta knew he hit it well. He didnt know how well until the ball landed in the seats. Peraltas two-run homer produced the first runs scored by St. Louis in its first at-bat since June 18, a span of 14 games, leading the Cardinals past the reeling San Francisco Giants 7-2 on Thursday. "Id heard from the guys that you need to hit it hard to get it out here," Peralta said. Carlos Martinez (2-3) earned his second win as a starter and added a two-run single for the Cardinals, who won their second straight after losing three in a row. Martinez allowed a run and five hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out six. "Weve had our struggles at the plate," Peralta said. "It was good to start it off in the first inning." Madison Bumgarner (9-6) fell to 0-3 over his past four home starts after allowing five runs -- four earned -- and six hits over five innings. He walked three and struck out six. Bumgarner also drove in a run for the Giants, who have lost 17 of 22 and fell out of first place in the NL West. "You always want to play at home and I havent pitched very good here all year," Bumgarner said. "I dont know what it is. You cant give in, you have to keep grinding." Help could be on the way. The Giants optioned first baseman Adam Duvall to Triple-A Fresno after the game in anticipation of recalling Brandon Belt in time for Fridays game in San Diego. "Hes somebody we like having out there," Bumgarner said. "Its not going to do anything but help us." Angel Pagan may return to the Giants lineup early next week, giving them some semblance of order at the top of the lineup. Matt Carpenter continued ripping Giants pitching, extending his hitting streak against them to 11 games with a 2-for-4 effort. He has a .519 (28 for 54) career average against the Giants and has hit safely in 18 of his 20 games, including the post-season, against them. "Its one of those crazy things," Carpenter said. "Luck has been on my side so far I guess." Yadier Molina added three hits and Oscar Tavares, John Jay and Shane Robinson each drove in a run for the Cardinals. Peraltas first-inning home run, after Carpenter drew a walk, put St. Louis ahead to stay. "I was able to work the walk and Jhonny hit the home run," Carpenter said. "That kind of set the tone and we found a way to pile it on." Bumgarner drove in a run for the Giants in the third, but then gave up three runs in the fourth -- two on a single from Martinez. Robinson, pinch hitting for Martinez in the sixth, tripled home a run. Tavares added an RBI in the seventh. The Giants loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth, but Martinez got Buster Posey on a swinging strike three to end the threat. In the sixth, Tyler Colvin walked, Adam Duvall singled and Brandon Crawford punched a single into right field. An error allowed Colvin to score. Sam Freeman, Seth Maness and Jason Motte combined to keep the Giants at bay. NOTES: Giants INF Joe Panik batted second, where he hit for Triple-A Fresno, as manager Bruce Bochy tweaked the lineup.

Nike Blazer Grigie e Blu .J. -- The New York Giants have signed quarterback Rusty Smith, who played the last four seasons with the Tennessee Titans. LONDON -- Robin van Persie scored a hat trick Saturday to overtake Dennis Bergkamp on Arsenals all-time scorers list and lead his club to its biggest win of the season, 7-1 over Blackburn. Van Persie took sole possession of 10th place on the all-time list with Arsenals second-minute opener and hit an almost identical goal for 2-1 in the 38th. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored his first league goal before relegation-threatened Blackburn was reduced to 10 men just before halftime when Gael Givet was sent off for a two-footed foul on Van Persie. Mikel Arteta added a fourth goal, Oxlade-Chamberlain struck a fifth, Van Persie completed his hat trick with an unmarked finish in the 62nd and substitute Thierry Henry scored in injury time. Van Persie now has 22 Premier League goals this season and 123 overall for Arsenal. Henry, who rounded off the rout with his second goal since returning to the London club on loan from Major League Soccers New York Red Bulls, leads the standings with 228. "When you feed him in the box, he is deadly," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. Arsenals biggest margin of victory in the league since its 6-0 demolition of Blackpool in August 2010 boosted its chances of challenging for a top-four finish and dramatically improved its goal difference, which could prove crucial at the end of the season. Fourth-place Chelsea, Newcastle and Liverpool are all still in contention for one of Englands four Champions League qualifying spots. Wenger lauded Oxlade-Chamberlains contribution but said he was most pleased by the teamwork on display from his side. "We were guided by the way we want to play football and not by any extra individualism," Wenger said. The Gunners barely had to move out of second gear against Blackburn, which was in deep trouble even before Givet was given a straight red card. The central defender left the groundd as he went into a challenge with both feet, leading with his studs to send Van Persie cartwheeling.dddddddddddd. Givet apologized to Wenger as he trudged off the field and Blackburn manager Steve Kean said the defender also apologized to his teammates in the dressing room. "I dont think the referee had a tough decision to make because we all know the rules now," Kean said. "If you leave the ground and go in with two feet, the challenge wont be accepted." But Arsenal was already 3-1 up, settling the nerves of a team that lost three and drew one of its last four league matches. Teenaged right back Francis Coquelin started the move that led to the opener when he slipped a disguised pass with the outside of his right boot to Theo Walcott, who stayed onside and rolled in a cross for Van Persie to tap in from close range. Morten Gamst Pedersen equalized in the 31st with a curling free kick into the top left corner but Van Persie restored Arsenals lead. The move was almost identical to the one that yielded his opener, only this time Alex Song provided the pass forward to Walcott, who again provided the assist. Oxlade-Chamberlain rounded goalkeeper Paul Robinson and finished for 3-1 in the 40th and, with Givet off the pitch, Blackburn disintegrated. Arteta lashed in from the edge of the area for his first goal in two months and Walcott was allowed to make a mazy run across five defenders into the area, before passing to Oxlade-Chamberlain. Oxlade-Chamberlain took the ball inside the fullback with one touch and stuck it inside the post with his second. Van Persies rising finish from Coquelins pass made it 6-1 and Henry, in space following an exchange of passes with Van Persie, completed the scoring with a low finish past Robinson. "Its a horrible afternoon," Kean said. "They know theyve let themselves down." cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
