A look at whats happening all around the majors Wednesday:---MATCHING UPThe task for Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner is fairly straightforward heading into the NL wild-card game: Dont get beat by right-handed slugger Yoenis Cespedes. After Cespedes and switch-hitter Asdrubal Cabrera, the rest of New Yorks power threats -- Curtis Granderson, Lucas Duda, Jay Bruce and Michael Conforto -- are left-handed hitters, and Bumgarner has limited lefties to a puny .294 slugging percentage this season.The Mets will have a left-handed hitter with some thump in the nine-spot, too. Ace Noah Syndergaard tied Bumgarner for the major league lead among pitchers with three homers this season.NO ANSWERS FROM ARLINGTONCole Hamels? Yu Darvish? The Rangers have already decided on a Game 1 starter for their AL Division Series -- theyre just not saying who it is.

The catcher broke his right hand during a minor league injury rehab appearance late in the season, but has progressed to the point the Indians may include him on the postseason roster for their AL Division Series, which begins Thursday against the Red Sox. Manager Terry Francona called Gomes remarkable for his recovery. I dont think Yan thought there was a chance this was possible, Francona said.A TEST OUT WESTTim Tebow isnt a big leaguer yet, but hes going to get to play with a few. The Mets are sending the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner to the Arizona Fall League, where hell face largely upper-level minor leaguers and even some players with time in the majors -- one of his teammates will be Yankees first baseman Greg Bird, who hit 11 homers in 46 games as a rookie in 2015.

SAN DIEGO -- As much as the San Francisco Giants have been through since the All-Star break, with all the blown leads and the offensive struggles, it would have been gut-wrenching if they hadnt pulled out a victory the way they did Saturday night against the lowly San Diego Padres.The Giants blew a six-run lead before scoring three times in the 10th inning, including a two-run home run by Denard Span, to beat the San Diego Padres 9-6 and pull even with the New York Mets atop the NL wild-card standings.Youre proud of the guys, manager Bruce Bochy said.You give up a six- run lead and they come back and tie it, thats tough to take, especially in our situation.

I was thinking, thats the best I felt all year, by far, best stuff, best command, everything was there, good as I could hope for it to be. Just kind of a weird one.It was a really big win for us.Bumgarners strikeout of Jon Jay in the fourth inning marked his 245th this season, surpassing Cy Seymours 118-year-old franchise single-season record for a left-hander.Thats not what Im here for, but its pretty special to get the opportunity to do that, he said.He didnt make many mistakes, whatd he give up, four hits, three of them home runs? Bochy said. It looked like the same pitch on all of them. He didnt quite get where he wanted, but they took advantage of it. But he was throwing well,, four hits, thats a pretty good outing, except for three of them left the park.ddddddddddddThe Giants staked Bumgarner to a 6-0 lead before he allowed the first Padres hit, Renfroes first career home run, with two outs in the fourth.The Padres continued to claw back on Derek Norris two-run homer in the fifth, his 14th, and Adam Rosales two-run shot with two outs in the sixth, his 12th, that cut the Giants lead to 6-5.San Diego tied the franchise record of 172 home runs (1972).Hunter Strickland came on and blew the save when rookie Manuel Margot singled to center for his first big league hit and RBI.Down 6-0 off Madison Bumgarner, you usually lose that baseball game, Padres manager Andy Green said. Probably about every time in his career theyve probably held on and won that baseball game. We were right there on the cusp of winning it. We had every chance to and our guys fought hard. The fight was really good. You obviously want to come out on top.Yangervis Solarte, who returned to the Padres a week after his wife, Yuliett, 31, died of cancer, started the seventh-inning rally with a pinch single with two outs.
