SAN FRANCISCO -- Shelby Miller soaked it all in as he returned to the big leagues at last, cherishing pitching in front of a sellout crowd in the rivals home ballpark after more than a month of making adjustments in the minors.Miller still has some work to do going deeper into games. Yet this was a decent start to getting back to where he believes he belongs, and the right-hander was unflappable after falling behind in the first inning -- something that before he admits might have thrown off his entire day.Miller (2-10) was called up from Triple-A Reno and took the loss for Arizona in a 4-2 defeat to the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. Pitching in the majors for the first time since July 6 and then being sent down on July 14, the 15-game winner with St. Louis in 2013 allowed two runs and six hits in six innings.It seems like when it rains it pours sometimes, the biggest thing you can do is just kind of block that out and realize you can either let that affect you, think the worst is happening and that this is going to continue, and thats when things go downhill, the 25-year-old Miller said. The biggest thing is to try to eliminate it, those things are going to happen, and get on with your game.Matt Moore (2-3) struck out seven over 5 1/3 innings for his first career victory at AT&T Park. He gave up one run and five hits in his first game since losing a no-hit bid with two outs in the ninth inning at Dodger Stadium. He was backed by a sensational running catch on Paul Goldschmidts sixth-inning drive from center fielder Gorkys Hernandez, who crashed into the wall to make the play.Manager Bruce Bochy was careful not to overwork Moore, who was done at 92 pitches after throwing 133 during the no-hit try at Los Angeles.Buster Posey drove in two runs for San Francisco, which is in second place in the NL West behind the Dodgers.Santiago Casilla relieved Sergio Romo with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth and struck out Yasmany Tomas. Casilla finished for his 29th save, giving up Jake Lambs two-out homer in the ninth.I felt good mechanically, kind of a little jittery there in the first inning, just getting back in that atmosphere, which is always so much fun to be a part of games where fans are there, Miller said of big league crowds.Posey doubled home a run in the first. Hunter Pence added an RBI single later that inning in his second game back after missing three with a strained right hamstring.Angel Pagan had an RBI double in the seventh and Posey hit a sacrifice fly as the Giants added insurance.San Francisco third baseman Eduardo Nunez got hit by Millers 91 mph fastball in the left ribcage area but stayed in the game in the bottom of the sixth after an athletic trainer and Bochy checked on him. He is expected to be fine to play Thursday.Arizona dropped just its fifth game in the last 16 at AT&T Park.FOR THE BIRDSA few pigeons camped out a few feet in front of the batters box in fair territory and never went away even as some players and coaches tried to shoo them.I was amazed, first of all that they didnt move, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. They werent scared of anything, and a couple of times when the ball was put in play, it didnt bother the fielders. So it was pretty impressive.We dont really work on that in spring training.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: Arizona optioned RHP Vicente Campos to Reno to make room for Millers return to the rotation.Giants: CF Denard Span was out of the lineup after leaving Tuesday nights loss in the seventh inning with a stiff neck. ... RHP Jake Peavy was still sore a day after receiving several shots of cortisone in his back.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: LHP Robbie Ray (7-12, 4.28 ERA) pitches against Colorado at Coors Field having gone 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA with 29 strikeouts and seven walks in his last four starts.Giants: RHP Jeff Samardzija (11-9, 4.00) pitches the opener Thursday against his former Cubs team in Chicago for the highly anticipated four-game series against the NL Central leaders. Its critical. I dont know if its quite make-or-break, Bochy said. Christian Wilkins Youth Jersey .

"It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said.

"Its about time," St-Pierre told reporters at a promotional event in Montreal on Friday. "I think its a good thing. Wimbledon is disappearing in the rearview mirror quickly as the Aug. 6 start date of the tennis competition at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro bears down on us.Here are five things we learned at Wimbledon that, looking ahead, promise to make the action this summer spectacular -- and unpredictable.1. Serena Williams is poised to make Big HistoryAt the start of Wimbledon, a string of question marks still followed her name. Williams wiped them out with a commanding performance. She equaled Steffi Graf as the leader in Open era (starting in 1968) Grand Slam singles championships by securing No. 22. Now in her sights: Margaret Courts all-time record of 24 Grand Slam?singles titles.But Williams has set herself up for an achievement that may have even greater historical resonance. No tennis player, male or female, has won more than one Olympic gold medal in singles. Graf came close, with a gold in 1988 and a silver in 1992. Williams could add a second singles gold as well as a fourth in doubles (partnered with sister Venus). That would certainly make her one of the all-time great Olympians.2. Andy Murray upsets the Big Four applecartThe Big Four may be imploding. Closing quickly on age 35, Roger Federer wasted perhaps his last best chance to win that one more Wimbledon he has alluded to. Rafael Nadal is hurt -- again -- and sounding increasingly pessimistic about his future.Once the bottom member of the Big Four by a significant margin?(behind Federer, Nadal and Novak Djokovic), Murray has been in all three Grand Slam finals this year (he lost to Djokovic at the Australian and French Opens). Djokovic has been to two, failing at Wimbledon.At 29, Murray is acting and talking like hes just approaching his peak, and he has renewed his highly successful relationship with supercoach Ivan Lendl. Everyones time comes in different stages, Murray said after beating?Milos Raonic in the Wimbledon final. Hopefully mine is yet to come.3. The future of the womens game remains wide openBy reaching her second Grand Slam final of the year, 28-year old German Angelique Kerber showed that none of the highly touted young women of the WTA are ready to make a serious run at the top ranking. The most disappointing failure at Wimbledon was that of French Open champ and No. 2 seed Garbine Muguruza. She lost in the second round to Jana Cepelova, saying she had insufficient energy. No. 7 seed Belinda Bencic pulled out of her second-round match with a wrist injury.Ameriican women were particularly disappointing: Coco Vandeweghe failed to take advantage of her recent form and a great draw and lost in the fourth round; No.dddddddddddd 18 seed Sloane Stephens fell just short against Svetlana Kuznetsova?in the third round;?and No. 9 seed Madison Keys lost in the fourth round to No. 5 Simona Halep -- just the kind of player she can and must sweep out of her path if shes headed for the top.4. The British are in a renaissanceGreat Britain seems to be waking from its big sleep as a tennis power, and it probably all owes to Murray and his exploits, starting with his Wimbledon win in 2013.The British have some good young players, led by Kyle Edmund, Johanna Konta?and Heather Watson. Edmund is just 21 but already No. 67 in the ATP rankings. He lost to Adrian Mannarino in the first round at Wimbledon. Konta, 25, lost a three-setter in the second round to Eugenie Bouchard. Watson lost a 12-10 heartbreaker in the first round to Annika Beck, but she went on to win the mixed doubles. Great Britain also was the dominant force in the wheelchair game, with Gordon Reid winning the mens singles.Ill remember this forever, Watson said after she won the mixed with Finnish player Henri Kontinen. Its been a dream of mine since I was a little girl to be a Grand Slam champion. I would take anything, singles, doubles, mixed doubles. Yeah, Ive got one of those now. I mean, Im just really happy.As Arthur Ashe often said, A rising tide lifts all boats. Expect more young British players to come out of the pipeline.5. Wimbledon needs a final-set tiebreakerThe miserable weather, play stoppages and backlog of matches that forced play on Wimbledons ordinarily silent middle Sunday underscored how silly the refusal to institute a final-set tiebreaker is. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga had to win three matches in four days, including a 19-17 third-round victory over?John Isner, to reach the quarterfinals (where he fell to Murray).Most players ESPN.com spoke with at Wimbledon like the idea of playing a tiebreaker in the final set at some point (Federer floated the idea of 12-all). Those 19-17, 22-20 and 14-12 fifth-set scores just seem to belabor a point and, in terms of generating excitement, cant compare with a tiebreaker.The ITF took the plunge and adopted the final-set tiebreaker for Davis Cup. Wimbledon should follow suit. ' ' '
