Ontheair ing into training after de- livering a title for a man- ager who expected to be in a relegation battle, but the groggy-eyed squad re- ported for duty as expected on Tuesday morning. The players had been apart for only a few hours after watching together at top-scorer Jamie Vardy's house as the title was clinched by second-place Tottenham's challenge ending with a draw at Chelsea. The training session ended only after the club's Thai owners landed by helicopter at the facil- ity, which is surrounded by tightly packed rows of houses, to greet the play- ers. They will all surely never get tired of having to pose with "Champions" banners and sing "Cham- pione." En route to lunch there was a brief stop by their King Power stadium, where one supporter — a dead-ringer for Vardy — was briefly allowed onto the team coach to greet the striker. Vardy himself could probably have done with assistance cleaning up his house after hosting a party to celebrate the best night in the club's 132-year his- tory. "The boys were stand- ing on furniture — I hope Vards' house is all right," Morgan said. "After the initial eupho- ria, a lot of people couldn't believe what had happened. There were a few tears." Twitter reported an 86 percent spike in usual ac- tivity in Britain as Leices- ter won the title, with the most-shared posts coming from inside the party at Vardy's house. Vardy's 22 goals, includ- ing a Premier League re- cord scoring run of 11 con- secutive games, have fueled the title charge. Relegation was forecast for this team, not embar- rassing the gilded elite. Even more astonish- ingly, the title was won with two games to spare, leaving the mighty Arse- nal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City trailing in their wake. Vichai Raksriaksorn, who also owns Thai duty free giant King Power, never expected to be pos- ing with his own title winners when he bought Leicester in 2010 in a deal that valued the club at 39 million pounds (now about $57 million). The Foxes had only just climbed out of the third tier back then, and took until 2014 to end their 10- year exile from the Pre- mier League, where they now tower over every other team in England.

They appeared well schooled in the first inning, when Buster Posey and Hunter Pence hit con- secutive doubles to give the Giants a 1-0 lead The Giants advanced a runner into scoring po- sition in each of the next five innings — and had less than two outs in four of them — but failed to push across any runs. They did manage to run up Lamb's pitch count, though, ensur- ing that the Reds bullpen gate would swing open at some point. And lately, that means a flood of milk and honey. The Reds bullpen entered having been scored upon in 20 consecutive team games, tying the 2013 Rockies for the modern major league record. Tony Cingrani kept the Giants off the board in the seventh. But poor Caleb Cotham took the mound in the eighth and put the Reds into the record books. Pence drew a one-out walk and raced to third on Brandon Belt's flare down the left field line. But Belt, whose risks on the bases have proved unproductive this season, was thrown out trying to stretch his single into a double. The Giants challenged the tag play but there wasn't enough evidence to over- turn it. It was a damaging sec- ond out, but the Giants managed to overcome it with a bit of luck. Follow- ing an intentional walk to Brandon Crawford, Tomlin- son got jammed on a little snort to shortstop for an in- field hit that scored Pence with the tiebreaking run. Gregor Blanco followed with a single that scored Crawford, then promptly stole second base — the fourth of the game and the Giants' ninth steal in three games in May. (They had seven steals in all of April.) That's when Samardzija stepped to the plate with a chance to break the game open. When he chased a slider, he decided to break something else.
