Ontheair it all over the field. That's why they're a good team, because that guy drives in a lot of runs." Hudson left after five in- nings. In his previous start at Citi Field, he was carried off the field with a season- ending broken ankle after a collision at first base on July 24, 2013, while with Atlanta. Whoneeds'em? Giants left fielder Juan Perez had put his sun- glasses on top of his hat, just in case he needed them on an overcast day. When Curtis Granderson hit a long drive over his head in the third, Perez yanked the sunglasses off his cap and carried them in his bare right hand while making a running catch on the warning track. Cain out for season Giants right-hander Matt Cain will have bone chips in his right elbow removed next Monday in San Francisco. He is ex- pected to be sidelined for about three months, but should be healthy in time for spring training. "It's been frustrating for him," manager Bruce Bo- chy said. "Matt's been bat- tling this for a while. It's time. He could keep try- ing to push it but it's in- evitable, it looks like. Let's have this done and get him ready for spring training." Cain hasn't pitched since July 9 and was put on the disabled list July 21. He saw three doctors, all of whom recommended sur- gery. Cain played catch on Friday to test his elbow one last time but was not optimistic about return- ing, saying the bone chips were unlikely to shift into a more tolerable position. Cain will fail to reach 30 starts for the first time as a full-time big leaguer. Trainer's room Posey was struck in the mask by Lucas Duda's foul tip in the seventh. Bochy and trainer Dave Groe- schner came out, but Posey stayed in the game. Gi- ants backup catcher Hec- tor Sanchez already is on the disabled list because of a concussion. He traveled Monday from New York to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Fresno. ... Outfielder Angel Pagan (back inflammation) could return to the Giants by the weekend. On deck San Francisco plays the fifth of a 10-game road trip with a three-game set start- ing Tuesday night in Mil- waukee. Giants righty Tim Lincecum (9-7, 4.21 ERA) faces Jimmy Nelson (1-2, 4.30). It will be the first meeting of the teams this season. New York begins a three-game series Tuesday night in Washington. Mets righty Zack Wheeler (6-8, 3.60) faces Gio Gonzalez (6- 7, 3.88). The Nats have won five of six meetings against the Mets this season. BayAreaBewsGroup contributed to this report. Giants FROM PAGE 1 akin to asking Janikowski to kick with his right leg. It was an uncomfortable feel- ing Janikowski battled all season. "You stay with the same guy for 14 years, the trust is there," he said. "You don't have to think about it go- ing on the field." Janikowski converted only 21 of 30 field-goal at- tempts last season, a 70 percent success rate that was his lowest since 2006 and the third-worst mark of his career. More telling, Janikowski made just three of his seven attempts from be- yond 50 yards -- his fewest since 2005 when he went 0 for 3 from that distance. "Our timing was off," Janikowski said. "Just tim- ing, the confidence ... the trust." In an effort to improve their relationship on and off the field, Janikowski flew to California two months before training camp in order to get in ex- tra work with King. The two, along with long snapper Jon Condo, worked out together pri- vately and have looked much smoother since train- ing camp began. "For him to go out and have success, he's gotta be comfortable and feel good that the operation is go- ing to be the same on ev- ery single play," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said of Janikowski. "That op- eration with Jon and Mar- quette and Seabass (Jan- ikowski) has improved tre- mendously, and I do think that Seabass has a lot more confidence in Marquette as a holder." Allen also credited spe- cial teams assistant coach Chris Boniol, a former kicker who spent six sea- sons in the NFL. "Chris has a way of be- ing able to relate to those guys and talk to them on a level where they can un- derstand what he's trying to get accomplished," Al- len said. "To (Janikowski's) credit, he's taken to all of that and done everything that we've asked him to do. Janikowski reported to camp looking leaner, but more stout than in the pre- vious years. Part of that was so that he could keep up with his two young daughters, both of whom came out to prac- tice Saturday as part of the Raiders' annual Fam- ily Day. The 17th overall pick in 2000, Janikowski also has his sights set on Jason Hanson's NFL record of 52 field goals of at least 50 yards. The Oakland kicker has 45. Breaking that record and getting back to the Su- per Bowl are high on Jan- ikowski's agenda. He and the Raiders played in the Super Bowl in the 2002 season, but haven't re- turned to the postseason since. "Super Bowl, that's the ultimate goal," Janikowski said. Janikowski also believes he can break the NFL's re- cord for longest field goal. Denver's Matt Prater kicked a 64-yarder last year to establish the mark. "I know Matt's got the re- cord for now," Janikowski said. "It doesn't matter if it's the 70-yarder from (for- mer Raiders coach Lane) Kiffin. It's a challenge." Raiders FROM PAGE 1 sound system blaring, the 49ers already were feeling right at home. "As soon as I stepped foot out there, they were playing music, and I just got to dancing and every- thing," wide receiver Quin- ton Patton said. "It felt pretty good." The 49ers have been practicing all summer next door at their team com- plex, watching the finish- ing touches being put on the $1.2 billion stadium that will replace Candle- stick Park in San Francisco, where the team has played its home games since 1971. They were eager to fi- nally get action on the new field in advance of their preseason opener on Thursday against the Ravens in Baltimore. The 49ers christen Levi's Sta- dium with their preseason opener against the Denver Broncos on Aug. 17. "It was really the first ex- perience that all of us got to step on the field, and I feel like we had fun with it, especially with the fans being there," cornerback Chris Cook said. "They give you that little bit of extra energy that you don't al- ways have every day out there. Just to hear them cheering us motivates us, and it gives you a good feel of how it's going to be." The 68,500-seat facil- ity features HD 13 video boards on the north and south ends that each mea- sure 200 feet by 48 feet, giving fans not only prime vantage points of the ac- tion, but also replays of the action. Like other players, Cook often found himself look- ing up at the towering video screens. He had a better reason to do so than most, after leaping in front of receivers to make two in- terceptions on long passes during team drills. Cook spent most of the day practicing with the first-team defense as pro- jected starting corner- backs Chris Culliver and Tramaine Brock both sat out with minor ailments. "Yeah, I looked up there a few times to see if I was going to be on there," Cook said. "Especially after I caught those two picks. It's always fun to be on the big screen, especially when you're doing some- thing good." Coach Jim Harbaugh used the session to get his players acclimated to the atmosphere and new play- ing conditions. He had his team ease into practice on a field that features different traction than the team's three prac- tice fields some 100 yards to the east. "New grass surface, and we want our guys to get their feet under them," Harbaugh said. "That's what we have to get used to. The way we were used to Candlestick, the grass there, the sight lines, sun angles, the surface, the environment, the way the wind blows, what the flags do. We've got to get used to it all." Harbaugh would also like to get used to the comfort of a home crowd that began to fester during Monday's practice. Harbaugh quickly grew to appreciate the home- field advantage the 49ers had at Candlestick while he became the first coach in NFL history to guide his team to a conference cham- pionship game in each of his first three seasons as coach. "You want to mark your territory," Harbaugh said. "We want to do that. We don't want to look at it as just a possibility, we want to make it a home-field ad- vantage. I think we have the players to do that. We've always counted on our crowd to be behind us and they always are. Hopefully we'll play good and they're behind us and we'll do just that, make it a great home-field ad- vantage like Candlestick was." Notes The 49ers signed un- drafted rookie free agent RB Glenn Winston to a three-year contract and waived/injured RB Kend- all Hunter. He tore the an- terior cruciate ligament in his right knee during train- ing camp practice July 25. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 KATHY KMONICEK – THE ASSOCIATED PRESS New York Mets' Daniel Murphy (28) reacts a er scoring on David Wright's single in the fi h inning of a baseball game against the San Francisco Giants at Citi Field on Monday, in New York.
