Plant, a 24-year-old prospect from Nashville, Tennessee, looked good in his first scheduled 10-round bout as he dominated De Angel, 29, of Colombia, en route to a shutout decision. To punctuate his dominance, Plant knocked De Angel down in the fourth round with a left hook in the main event of a Premi

SAN FRANCISCO -- Sweating, sniffling and sneezing, Pablo Sandoval felt horrible until his final swing. Sandoval hit a towering two-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning after Gregor Blancos tying triple in the ninth, and the San Francisco Giants rallied past the Washington Nationals 4-2 on Tuesday night. "You have to give 100 per cent no matter what. Its your job to fight," said Sandoval, who was so dehydrated he had to receive intravenous fluids before the game. Saddled with flu-like symptoms all week, Sandoval flipped his bat and shifted into a slow trot as soon as he sent the changeup off Yunesky Maya (0-1) over the right-centre field wall for his eighth homer this season. It was Sandovals second career game-ending hit -- both home runs against the Nationals -- and San Franciscos sixth walk-off win this year. The ball landed just shy of the plaque on the brick wall marking Barry Bonds record-breaking 756th home run. "I dont think Bonds ever hit one that high," said Matt Cain, who allowed two runs in seven innings. Blanco finished 3 for 4, including the RBI triple off closer Rafael Soriano with two outs in the ninth. The Giants comeback upstaged a superb outing by Stephen Strasburg. Both starters lasted seven innings in a matchup of NL aces. Jeremy Affeldt (1-0) tossed a scoreless inning for the win. Maya had been called up from Triple-A Syracuse earlier in the day after the Nationals placed reliever Ryan Mattheus on the 15-day disabled list. Mattheus broke his right pitching hand punching a locker following a loss at San Diego on Sunday. "I dont feel good because I didnt make a zero and (keep) the game tied," Maya said. Washingtons fourth consecutive loss might be its most painful. Buster Posey hit an infield single leading off the ninth against Soriano and was lifted for pinch-runner Andres Torres. With San Francisco down to its last strike, Blanco sent an 84 mph slider over the head of right fielder Bryce Harper for the tying triple. Harper said he was thinking about the play last week when he ran face-first into the wall in a scary collision against the Dodgers and needed 11 stitches in his chin. He also missed two games because of a bruised left knee before coming back Monday night. "I should have caught it. I put that whole loss on me," Harper said. The Giants earned their 13th comeback win this season. After entering the game just 2-17 when trailing after the eighth inning, they handed Soriano his second straight blown save and third in 15 chances this year. "We love pressure. Its our favourite part," Sandoval said. What started out as a scintillating matchup on the mound faded at the finish. Strasburg struck out seven and allowed five hits and three walks. Cain gave up four hits and two walks while striking out seven. Strasburg had his changeup confusing hitters most of the night. He retired 14 of the final 15 batters -- six on strikeouts -- and never allowed a runner past first in his last five innings. Ian Desmond and Ryan Zimmerman each hit an RBI double in the first to give the Nationals a 2-0 lead. Blanco singled, took second on Cains sacrifice and hustled home on Angel Pagans single in the second for San Franciscos only run off Strasburg. Cain worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth. He got Kurt Suzuki to ground into a fielders choice and Strasburg struck out swinging after an appeal to first base umpire Gary Darling. Neither starter faced a serious threat the rest of the way. Marco Scutaro extended his hitting streak to 19 games -- the longest in the majors this season -- when he doubled off the left-field wall against Tyler Clippard with two outs in the eighth. Sandoval followed with a weak grounder to second to end the inning, then atoned for the out his next time up. Sandovals other game-ending hit came at Washington on May 12, 2009. "He didnt show any effects from the bug there," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Hes got better discipline (at the plate) now. Hes got more patience." NOTES: Several Nationals players wore a T-shirt in the clubhouse that had a younger image of pitching coach Steve McCatty shirtless from when he posed for Playgirl magazines July 1984 issue after the photo recently surfaced on the Internet. The back of the shirt had the slogan: "Untuck." "I could have done without that revelation," manager Davey Johnson joked. "I didnt know he had that good a body, and I didnt know he had that much hair." ... Bochy said Johnson will be on his coaching staff for the NL All-Star team. "Hes all set to go. I have tremendous respect for Davey," Bochy said. ...

Peralta, who turns 34 on Wednesday, certainly fit the description. Literally. A part-time fighter, his actual job is that of a cab driver in his native Argentina. He had a nice record and was brought to the United States -- as a massive underdog -- to fight for the first time against Guerrero, 31, of Gilroy, California, who was badly in need of a win coming off a loss for a vacant welterweight title to Danny Garcia in January and 2-3 in his previous five fights.Most viewed Guerrero, a former two-division titleholder, as a badly faded fighter even before this bout, which headlined a Premier Boxing Champions card on Spike. Now it quite clear that he really is done as a top fighter -- and as a main event performer for that matter -- after this clear loss (despite the one scorecard in his favor) to the painfully slow Peralta, whose previous opposition had been about as bad as it gets.Guerrero, who made $500,000 to Peraltas $30,000, got off to a solid start and looked pretty good for the first couple of rounds but then it was mostly downhill. Peralta kept up a persistent attack, came forward, controlled the action and took it to Guerrero, whose timing, speed and reflexes are not what they were. Peraltas margin of victory should have been even greater because in the ninth round referee Ray Corona blew a clear knockdown. Peralta blasted Guerrero with a pair of right hands that landed cleanly and sent him sagging into the corner post, which clearly held him up. It should have definitely been ruled a knockdown and was obvious in real time and on the television replays. Regardless, Peralta took it to Guerrero for the rest of the fight and got the well-deserved upset (prompting him to do an insanely bizarre dance in the ring!) and likely ended Guerreros run as a meaningful fighter.Freddy Hernandez W10 Alfredo Angulo Super middleweight Scores: 98-92, 97-93 (twice) Records: Hernandez (34-8, 22 KOs); Angulo (24-6, 20 KOs)Rafaels remarks: If you thought Robert Guerrero was a shot fighter after his poor showing in an upset loss to a low-level opponent in the main event, Angulo, 33, of Mexico, showed himself to be even more totally shot in this loss to Hernandez, 37, also of Mexico, a journeyman opponent who had his best days about eight years ago as a welterweight. Angulo and Hernandez were both fighting for the first time in one year and, as expected, slugged it out in an entertaining and bloody high-contact fight. But all the hard fights have clearly taken more of a toll on fan-favorite Angulo, who took a beating and should strongly consider retirement.As usual, Angulo pressured Hernandez, who suffered a bad cut over his left eye in the fifth round, and landed a lot of punches. But Hernandez landed a ton of shots also and appeared to have more steam on his. He also employed a solid jab that he kept in Angulos face, where his left eye/cheek was swollen and marked up by the end of the fight.Terrell Gausha W10 Steve Martinez Junior middleweight Scores: 97-93 (twice), 95-95 Records: Gausha (19-0, 9 KOs); Martinez (16-3, 13 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Gausha, 28, a 2012 U.S. Olympian from Cleveland, had a tougher time than perhaps many expected against Martinez, 26, of Bronx, New York, but came out on top in the majority decision win against the most notable opponent he has had so far. Both guys landed quality shots and Martinez put on a good body attack, but was warned for low blows by referee Jack Reiss in the fifth round. Gausha also did a good job attacking Martinez to the body but also showed a more diverse arsenal, including a good jab and solid counter punching as he took control late in the fight against a seemingly tiring Martinez.ddddddddddddSaturday at Fallon, NevadaMiguel Marriaga TKO6 Guy Robb Featherweight Records: Marriaga (24-1, 20 KOs); Robb (18-2, 8 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Since a lopsided decision loss in a featherweight world title fight against overweight Nicholas Walters 14 months ago, Marriaga, 29, a big puncher from Colombia, has won four fights in a row, including this nice knockout of Robb, 27, of Sacramento, California, in the main event of Top Ranks Solo Boxeo Tecate card on UniMas.In the sixth round, Marriaga caught Robb with a series of right hands. As each one landed, Robb appeared to be cracking. And then Marriaga landed another big one flush and sent Robb sprawling to the mat. He beat the count but was unsteady and referee Russell Mora waved off the fight at 2 minutes, 6 seconds, ending Robbs 11-fight winning streak. The win kept Marriaga on track to becoming the eventual mandatory challenger for featherweight world titleholder Oscar Valdez (20-0, 18 KOs).Jose Felix Jr. TKO6 Robert Frankel Lightweight Records: Felix Jr. (34-1-1, 26 KOs); Frankel (34-17-7, 7 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Felix, 24, of Mexico, extended his winning streak to seven fights in a row since a decision loss to Bryan Vasquez for an interim junior lightweight belt in April 2012. This latest victory came against 36-year-old Denver journeyman Frankel, whom Felix took apart and beat up before scoring the knockout in a mismatch.Midway through the sixth round, Felix buckled Frankel with a right hand. Later in the round, he landed several unanswered shots, including body punches and right hands that forced him to hold on. Then Felix punched him into the corner and continued to unload until referee Vic Drakulich waved off the fight at 2 minutes, 23 seconds as Frankel sank to one knee. After the fight, Felix called for a world title shot against Englands Terry Flanagan (31-0, 12 KOs).Tuesday at Bethlehem, Pa.Caleb Plant W10 Juan De Angel Middleweight Scores: 100-89 (three times) Records: Plant (14-0, 10 KOs); De Angel (18-5-1, 17 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Plant, a 24-year-old prospect from Nashville, Tennessee, looked good in his first scheduled 10-round bout as he dominated De Angel, 29, of Colombia, en route to a shutout decision. To punctuate his dominance, Plant knocked De Angel down in the fourth round with a left hook in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card. Plant fought with maturity, showing patience. He established his range and distance early on and never let the aggressive De Angel, who lost his second fight in a row, get into the fight or land any big shots, which was pretty much his only prayer to win. Instead, De Angel, perhaps feeling Plants good power on the knockdown, spent a lot of the remainder of the fight attempting to tie him up and avoid and exchanges. In the ninth round, an accidental clash of heads opened a cut on Plants head but it certainly was not enough to derail him on his way to the victory.In the co-feature pitting welterweights from Washington, D.C., southpaw David Grayton (15-1, 11 KOs), 29, knocked out 21-year-old Kareem Martin (8-1-1, 3 KOs) in the final round of their eight-round fight. Grayton dropped Marin with a left hand to the body in the eighth round and while he beat the count, Grayton was all over him when the fight resumed. During a flurry of punches, Benjy Esteves Jr. waved off the fight 41 seconds into the round.Also, two-time Olympian Carlos Gongora (6-0, 5 KOs), 27, of Ecuador, knocked out Ronald Mixon (7-1, 6 KOs), 27, of Los Angeles, at 1 minute, 16 seconds of their light heavyweight fight.
