Ontheair But in between rounds Rice said he was having trouble with a piston and as the time in between rounds was shortening he was running out of time to fix the problems. His crew allowed him to put in a shorter con- necting rod, which ended up allowing the car to con- tinue functioning the rest of the day. Knowles beat former world champion Von Smith in the final round, accord- ing to NHRA.com. As it turned out Smith had the faster car, but Knowles was able to pull off a better start and fin- ished the quarter-mile in 5.934 seconds, reaching a speed of 244.65 mph. "If he didn't leave the starting line when he did we wouldn't have won," Rice said. However in the press and to his peers Knowles was quick to turn the praise around. Rice said Knowles told him while the good start helped it was a team ef- fort, because it took ev- eryone else to make sure the engine worked well enough to get him to the finish line. "It's a full team deal, it's not one person," Rice said. It turned out to be a milestone accomplishment each person involved with the team could celebrate. Rice FROM PAGE 1 time champs have won nine straight in the play- offs and 23 of 31 dating back to 2010. "You know," manager Bruce Bochy said. "They've got a calmness about them." That paid off early on an overcast day at Nationals Park. Stephen Strasburg lit up the radar gun and Jake Peavy painted the corners, and in time, the artist won. Peavy allowed just two hits in 5 2/3 shutout innings, getting his first postsea- son win and helping the Giants steal Game 1 of the National League Division Series. This group has van- quished all kinds of pitch- ers in October, but few if any have possessed the raw stuff of Strasburg. He threw nine fastballs in a perfect first inning, all at 97 mph or above and the final one clocking in at 99 mph. It was Stras- burg's fastest pitch in two years and got a flyout from Buster Posey, the third of the inning. It was an overpowering display, and in the dugout the Giants had the same thought. We're going to get him. "It was kind of like the (wild-card) game in Pitts- burgh. You could see right away that people were hav- ing good at-bats," Belt said. "You could kind of tell a lit- tle bit that guys had a good chance at hitting him, and we did." The Giants struck in the third inning, when Travis Ishikawa hit a leadoff sin- gle and reached second as Adam LaRoche made a late throw on Peavy's bunt. Joe Panik lined a single to cen- ter two batters later, pick- ing up his first postseason RBI. Pence made it 2-0 with a manufactured rally in the fourth. Pence beat out the second throw on a would- be double-play grounder to short and then saw an opening and stole second. Belt followed with a single to right and Pence scored easily. Strasburg wouldn't make it out of the sixth, giving up eight hits – all singles – and two runs. In his last two starts against the Giants, Strasburg has recorded just 27 outs and given up 16 hits. Peavy piled up a high pitch count but that was by design. Peavy wasn't going to give this deep Nationals lineup anything that could be shot over a wall, and he worked the corners at will. "They didn't give any- thing away," he said. "They didn't give any at-bats away." Peavy didn't allow many of them to end successfully for the Nationals. They didn't have a hit through four innings, but a Nate Schierholtz double and walk of Jayson Werth put Peavy in a tight spot in the sixth. Javier Lopez entered for LaRoche and walked him, loading the bases. In the most impor- tant spot of the season thus far, Bochy turned to Hunter Strickland, a Sep- tember call-up. Strickland got the first two strikes on Ian Desmond with three big fastballs: 99 mph, 98 mph, 99 mph. The fourth postseason pitch of Strick- land's career was a 100- mph heater that Desmond swung through, getting the Giants out of the jam. Strickland didn't give up a run in nine Septem- ber appearances, but Bryce Harper got to him in the seventh, crushing a 97-mph fastball into the upper deck in right. Asdrubal Cabrera homered two batters later but the Giants still held the lead thanks to Panik's in- surance run in the top of the inning. As they always do this time of year, the Gi- ants held on. Giants FROM PAGE 1 By Steve Corkran BayAreaNewsGroup SANTA CLARA Quarter- back Colin Kaepernick's mobility is one of his most valuable traits. Yet, there's only so much he can do when the 49ers protection breaks down as often as it has this season. Kaepernick has been sacked 10 times in four games, which is tied for eighth-most in the league. Four of those came last Sunday against the Phila- delphia Eagles. Hence, it's been a focus this week to shore up the blocking, especially with the sack-happy Kansas City Chiefs coming into town for a game Sunday. Chiefs linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston combined for eight sacks through their first four games. Three of those came against Tom Brady in a 41-14 victory over the New England Pa- triots on Monday night. "It's hard to imagine one bigger," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said of this be- ing a stern test for his of- fensive line. "This is a big test, no question about it." Houston boasts a league- best five sacks. He also has 12½ sacks in his past nine games vs. NFC foes. "He's really good run- ning the (edge)," 49ers of- fensive coordinator Greg Roman said. "He can re- ally race the edge of the pocket, turn the corner And if a tackle overcom- mits to the outside, he's athletic enough to stick his foot in the ground and get back inside. "So, he's a very athletic guy coming off the edge, but can get from zero to 60 very quickly." Houston's penchant for wreaking havoc in the backfield takes on added significance, given the 49ers lingering issues at right offensive tackle. Houston figures to be matched up mostly against the 49ers right offensive tackle — be it Anthony Da- vis or Jonathan Martin. NFL 49ers' O-line facing major test Wainwright succumbed first on the mound, allow- ing six runs and 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings. But Ker- shaw failed once again in the postseason. The left-hander whose 1.77 ERA led the major leagues for the fourth con- secutive year came in ea- ger to erase the memory of his poor showing in Game 6 of last year's NL Cham- pionship Series, when the Dodgers were eliminated by the Cardinals. And Kershaw dominated through the first six in- nings, retiring 16 in a row between homers by Randal Grichuk and Carpenter. But he collapsed in a shaky seventh, when he gave up five of the Cardi- nals' eight runs and be- came the first pitcher in postseason history to al- low seven runs in consec- utive starts. ALDS ORIOLES 7, TIGERS 6 Del- mon Young drove in three runs with a pinch-hit dou- ble, and the Baltimore Ori- oles picked apart Detroit's shoddy bullpen once again during a four-run rally in the eighth inning to beat the Tigers for a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series. Baltimore will try for a sweep in Game 3 Sunday at Detroit, when Miguel Gon- zalez starts against the Ti- gers' David Price. A day after the Orioles battered Detroit relievers while scoring eight runs in the eighth for a 12-3 win, they came back from a three-run deficit.
