(AP) — Coach Dennis Allen has firsthand knowledge of what challenges Marcel Reece can give opposing defenses because he has the speed and hands of a receiver while playing fullback for the Oakland Raiders. That's why Allen is so happy to have Reece back under con- tract to start learning the team's new offense. the offseason away from the Raiders as he chose not to sign a $540,000 exclusive rights tender the team gave him in March while hoping to get a long-term deal. He ended his holdout on Monday and is now trying to get up to speed after missing a volun- tary minicamp and two weeks of organized team activities. ''He's behind a little bit but Reece spent the first part of he's working hard to get caught up in what we're doing offensive- ly,'' Allen said Wednesday. ''So, it's nice to have him back. He's got a skill set that can be benefi- cial to us.'' coordinator Greg Knapp, who also had that role in Reece's first year with the Raiders in 2008, as well as returning running backs coach Kelly Skipper.

As an exclusive rights player, Reece was not even allowed to talk to other teams before signing his tender with the Raiders, giv- ing him little leverage at all. He will be eligible to be a restricted free agent after next season and an unrestricted free agent in 2014, but said he wants to be a Raider for life. Reece said he's a quick learner and that it shouldn't take him long to get up to speed. He has worked previously with offensive Registration forms talked to the team about signing a long-term deal and said after talking constantly this offseason with running back Darren McFadden and quarterback Car- son Palmer that it was time to come back.

From our standpoint, as far as being the lead blocker in our scheme, that's where he's got the most work that he's got to work on. But his mis- matches in the passing game will be something that we could use.'' Reece had 27 catches for 301 yards and two touchdowns last season as well as 17 carries for 112 yards. While most fullbacks are used as dumpoff options in the passing game, Reece has the ability to stretch the field having been a wide receiver in college at Washington.

The Giants have won eight of 10 overall and 14 of their last 19 against the Padres, who have the worst record in the majors. SAN DIEGO (AP) — Bumgarner (7-4) won his second straight start while Clayton Richard (2-7) lost for the second time in four starts. Ser- gio Romo pitched the ninth for his third save in three chances. Trailing 6-3, the Padres loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth but scored only one run. Carlos Quentin and Jesus Guzman singled and Logan Forsythe walked before Bumgar- ner struck out Nick Hundley, allowed Everth Cabrera's run-scoring groundout and then got pinch-hitter Yonder Alonso to foul out to third. The Padres pulled to 6-5 in the seventh when Chris Denorfia hit a leadoff triple off Clay Hensley and scored on Chase Headley's groundout. They had a runner on third with two outs in the eighth before Javier Lopez relieved Hensley and got pinch- hitter Mark Kotsay to ground out. Bumgarner allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings, struck out four and walked four. Richard went 5 2-3 innings, allowing six runs — four earned — and matching his season See GIANTS, page 2B McNamee's wife: I didn't nag husband over Clemens Testimony: Friend threw — Wearing a blue floral print dress, Eileen McNamee presented herself as a soft-spoken first-grade school- teacher who never nagged her now- estranged husband about Roger Clemens. She went on to contra- dict the government's key witness many times — and even came up with a different brand of beer to associate with the crucial evidence in the perjury trial of the former pitcher. WASHINGTON (AP) ner. Brian McNamee said the days apart had become a source of fric- tion in the marriage. ''I probably com- plained once in a while,'' On a day in which the judge lost his temper twice with Clemens' lawyers, the defense turned Wednesday to the soon-to-be-ex-wife of Brian McNamee. This was the woman who McNamee testified harangued him with the words ''You're going to go down! You're going to go down! You're going to go down!'' — pestering him until he saved medical waste from an alleged steroids injection of Clemens so that he wouldn't be the fall guy in any sort of drugs investigation. She says she never said anything of the sort. She said McNamee didn't tell her back then that he was injecting Clemens, and that she wasn't especially both- ered by the extended time her husband spent away from home work- ing with the seven-time Cy Young Award win- McNamee said. ''But I did not fuss about it.'' Clemens is charged with lying when he told Congress in 2008 that he never used steroids or human growth hor- mone. Brian McNamee is the only witness to claim firsthand knowl- edge of Clemens using those substances. He testified last month that he injected Clemens in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and saved the needle and other waste from a 2001 injection. He said he put some of it in a Miller Lite can to bring home because his wife was giving him a ''hard time every single day.'' In testimony that sometimes sounded more like divorce court than criminal court — the couple are undergo- ing contentious divorce proceedings in New York — Eileen McNamee spun a narra- tive that could give the jury more pause when evaluating Brian McNamee's credibility. Among the other dif- ferences in their stories: — Brian McNamee Eileen testified that he showed his wife the needles and other waste from the injection as soon as he got home that night, and that she played a role in putting them — along with beer can — in a FedEx box. Eileen McNamee said she was- n't even aware the box was in the house until shortly afterward, when she discovered it on a shelf in the basement during a time of flood- ing in the neighbor- hood. When she asked him about the box, she said he replied that he was ''saving things for his protection and it was none of my concern.'' She said he didn't tell her what was in the box and that he didn't con- nect it to Clemens. — Eileen McNamee said she saw the box again two or three years later in her husband's bedroom closet and that it was open. she pulled out the con- tents and saw some vials and what appeared to be unused needles. She said she didn't recall seeing a beer can in the box, but that there was Bud Light can with syringes sitting next to the box. She said she put the items back in the box and never men- tioned them to her hus- band. She said referred to only as a ''serious criminal inves- tigation,'' but it involved Brian McNamee being ques- tioned about an alleged sexual assault in con- nection with a woman who was found to have a date rape drug in her system. He was not charged. moved out of the cou- ple's home shortly before the 2007 Mitchell Report on drugs in baseball was released. It was only then that she said he told her about his involvement with Clemens and perfor- mance-enhancing drugs. The report was the first public mention of McNamee's claim that he injected Clemens. — Brian McNamee his body over Giants fan LOS ANGELES (AP) — A friend who wit- nessed a vicious attack on a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodger Stadium testified Wednesday he threw his body over his friend's head to prevent further attacks by a raging assailant. Corey Maciel, a fel- Eileen McNamee was granted immunity before her testimony because her husband linked her to transac- tions involving pre- scription drugs that could, in theory, have led to charges against her. — Eileen McNamee indicated that the cou- ple's marriage began to deteriorate because of an incident in Florida in 2001 — and not because of her hus- band's relationship with Clemens. The jury has heard the 2001 incident The government will get a chance to cross- examine Eileen McNamee today and will no doubt question her motives because of the parallel divorce pro- ceedings. Earlier in the Clemens trial, U.S. Dis- trict Judge Reggie Wal- ton quipped about divorce court: ''Every- body lies in that court.'' Defendants Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood showed no reaction to the testimo- ny being heard by a judge to determine if there is sufficient evi- dence to order them to stand trial on mayhem and assault charges. Both have pleaded not guilty. Maciel described a hostile atmosphere, with Dodgers fans throwing food at them and cursing during last year's opening day game. When they left, he said, a Dodgers fan ran at Stow and let loose a haymaker punch at his See FAN, page 2B low paramedic who came with victim Bryan Stow from Northern California to cheer for the Giants, testified at a preliminary hearing for two men charged with the attack.
