MIAMI -- Steve Cishek turned ninth-inning jeers to cheers, and all he had to do was strike out major league hits leader Melky Cabrera to end the game. Cishek earned his first save of the year after struggling All-Star closer Heath Bell blew another one Friday night, and the Miami Marlins held on to beat the San Francisco Giants 7-6. "Its the ultimate adrenaline-rush situation," Cishek said. "Its something you always dream about doing." Bell entered in the ninth with a three-run lead but drew boos when he gave up three hits. Manager Ozzie Guillen yanked him with one out, runners at second and third and the Marlins clinging to a 7-5 lead. "I had a gut feeling hes not throwing well," Guillen said. "He gets paid to close games, I get paid to win games. Its a very hard, uncomfortable move. Your closer is your closer, but from the beginning I didnt feel comfortable with it. I needed a different look. But hes going to be back there as my closer tomorrow." Chris Coghlan put the Marlins ahead to stay when he snapped out of a season-long slump with a tiebreaking three-run homer off Tim Lincecum in the sixth inning. Coghlan, who has shuttled between the Marlins and the minors since winning the NL Rookie of the Year award in 2009, was batting .104 when he hit his first home run since last June 11. "I dont even know what Im hitting. I just know its not good," Coghlan said. "You dont think about those things. Every time you step in the box you try to feel like youre hitting 1.000." Giancarlo Stanton became the first player to hit the Marlins home run sculpture when he connected against Lincecum (2-5). The Giants right-hander gave up six runs in 5 2-3 innings, which hiked his ERA to 6.41. Hes 0-3 in his past five starts. "If I could just eliminate that one bad inning, wherever it falls, thats the big thing," Lincecum said. "It has to do with being focused and being locked in on every pitch." The Marlins improved to 17-7 this month, best in the majors, and broke the franchise record for victories in May. Bell nearly let it slip away, blowing a save for the fifth time in 12 chances. He allowed two runs, hiking his ERA to 8.10. Scattered boos began when Bell gave up a leadoff double to Joaquin Arias. By the time he left the game, fans were hooting were at top volume. "They want to win, and if somebody is not doing well, theyre going to let you know it," Bell said. "I like that. That means the crowd is into it and theyre passionate about their team and they care about wins and losses." Bell had no complaint about being pulled by Guillen, either. "This year I just havent proven that I can get out of jams," he said. "Ozzie went with Shek, and it worked out." After Brandon Crawford hit a sacrifice fly to make it 7-6, Cishek fell behind Cabrera 3-1. The side-winding right-hander then threw consecutive sliders for called strikes and the victory. "He made some quality pitches and won that battle," Cabrera said through an interpreter. Cabrera, who came into the game leading the majors with 67 hits, pulled his third homer of the season just inside the right field foul pole. He also tripled and is batting .363. The Giants outhit Miami 14-7 but went 2 for 11 with runners in scoring position. Dan Jennings (1-0) pitched a perfect sixth for his first major league win hours after being recalled from Triple-A New Orleans. Lincecum took a 3-1 lead into the sixth but failed to make it through the inning. After the Marlins loaded the bases, John Bucks sacrifice fly tied the game. Coghlan then pulled an 0-1 pitch over the fence, ending Lincecums night. Despite his struggles, Lincecum hadnt given up a homer in 50 1-3 innings until Stanton connected in the fourth inning. The ball landed in the base of the sculpture for the Marlins first run. The home run was the 10th this month for Stanton, and his 11th of the season. "Its incredible, his ability to hit the ball," Cabrera said. "He has ..... power."

Yet the question remains, should Subban be on Canadas Olympic roster? Subbans skill-set as an offensive defenceman limits his competition for a position on the team, but it also restricts his chances.TSNs Jack Armstrong offers his thoughts on the return of Stephen Jackson, the play of Goran Dragic and the surprising Suns, the impact of Brook Lopez and Deron Williams with the Nets, Danny Grangers impending return in Indiana and the key to the Spurs success. 1. STEPHEN JACKSON (Clippers): He departed the Spurs last year under cloudy circumstances yet, in the right situation in certain seasons, he has proven to be both a valuable and very productive/winning player. In my book, worth the risk. With JJ Redick out of the lineup right now, you need offensive firepower and shooting and if hes right, he can bring both. Hes played on good teams and made those teams better. Most importantly, you need a leader/coach that he respects and will hold him accountable. Doc Rivers is that guy. If Jackson wants back in the NBA, hes got the chance now yet hell be expected to do it right and this environment is a good returning spot for him. 2. GORAN DRAGIC (Suns): Did you check out his performance vs. the Lakers Tuesday night? 31 pts and five assists. He ate them up; they couldnt guard him. Hes a crafty guy who is very adept at changing speeds and turning the corner and getting into the lane on you and does a wonderful job keeping his dribble alive to make plays. High energy guy who is always fun to watch. The Suns are 12-9. If the season ended today, theyd be in the playoffs - in the West! No, not the East, the West! .....!! 3. BROOK LOPEZ and DERON WILLIAMS (Nets): ..... what good players can do for you (combined for 49 points on 20-29 shooting vs. Boston). Jason Kidd looks a whole lot more capable when he has these two guys in his lineup. Also nice to have Paul Pierce back on the court. Bottom line, in the weak Atlantic Division/Eastern Conference, as bad as things have been for the Nets with injuries/drama/expectations, if they can get and stay healthy, theyll be a playoff team. And if the chemistry were to ever come around, they could be a pretty dangerous team to play against in an early-round series. 4. DANNY GRANGER (Pacers): Has only played in five games over the past two seasons for a team that has become one of the elite 3-5 teams in the NBA..ddddddddddddHoping to return this weekend. Hes always been a lead actor in Indy. Paul George is that guy now. Can his ego stay in check and is he willing to sacrifice whatever it takes to help his team in whatever role his coaches devise for him? He can be a huge plus for them if hes willing to do what it takes. Obviously, sitting on the bench and watching his team be one of the best in the league has to humble you a bit yet make you hungry to get out there and do what it takes to be that finishing piece to help your team win a title. His presence on the floor will define how the Pacers chemistry evolves from here. If hes right mentally, they can become really dangerous on every level as a title contender. His scoring ability will make their depth even more of a strength. 5. SAN ANTONIO SPURS: An ..... series of facts about this team were pointed out to me by a few folks Tuesday night. Yes, we all know they have a Hall of Famer/franchise #1 pick in Tim Duncan. Some of the other pieces on the floor in Toronto Tuesday night vs. the Raptors include six second round picks, an undrafted player, a 30th Pick and two 28th picks. Remember what I said a few weeks back about the draft pedigree of the Indiana Pacers, sure you need a really good player but beyond that you MUST have GREAT leadership in the coaching area and the scouting/player evaluation and projection component. Its no secret that the Spurs define that and its a shame more franchises dont stay disciplined and use that model. Many swing for the fences with name guys that dont win for you. In a world of tank nation talk (I respect that you must have elite talent to win), it still comes down to the substance of what you put around an elite player that defines success. Too often, we look for the glitzy big name and reach for the bright lights and the style. In the end, it comes down to so many pieces meshing in an operation and it all comes back to the leadership of your owner, president, GM and coach. You get a good horse with a lousy jockey and hell underperform. Yes, youve got to have the horses, yet you better have the right folks leading the way. It all goes together.
