LOS ANGELES -- Bruce Bochy realizes his club is facing an enormous challenge. However, the San Francisco manager remains confident the Giants can reverse their fortunes and play their way into the postseason.These guys have been through it, Bochy said. I dont know whats going to happen, but I know this is a battle-tested group and theyll go out there and play their normal game as hard as they can. Theyre going to handle it. Theres no worry there.Giants All-Star right-hander Johnny Cueto (16-5, 2.86 ERA) will try to help his team recover from a Monday night debacle when he faces off against Los Angeles Dodgers lefty Rich Hill (12-4, 2.06 ERA) in the second game of a three-game series Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.The Dodgers (85-65) increased their lead in the National League West to six games Monday by rallying for two runs in the ninth inning off the San Francisco bullpen, producing a 2-1 victory. Adrian Gonzalezs double gave Los Angeles the walk-off win.The Giants (79-71) blew a franchise single-season-record ninth game when leading after eight innings. San Francisco slipped into a tie for the second NL wild card with the St. Louis Cardinals (79-71). Both teams are a game behind the team holding the top wild-card spot, the New York Mets (80-70).San Francisco desperately needs Cueto to remain their stopper. The right-hander has five complete games in 30 starts this season, including one in his last outing on Thursday against the Cardinals. Cueto allowed two runs on five hits with seven strikeouts and a walk in a 6-2 win at AT&T Park.Cueto is 3-2 with a 2.43 ERA in his past six starts. Against the Dodgers, he is 4-6 with a 2.93 ERA in 12 career starts.Hill is 3-1 with a 1.48 ERA since the Dodgers acquired him from the Oakland Athletics in a trade-deadline deal. His only defeat occurred during his last outing on Thursday, when he gave up four runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Hill struck out eight and walked one in a 7-3 defeat.Hill is 3-1 with a 2.70 ERA in six career starts against the Giants, limiting them to a .219 batting average. He last faced them on Aug. 24 in his first start as a member of the Dodgers, allowing five hits in six scoreless innings and picking up the victory in the Dodgers 1-0 win. Hill struck out three and did not issue a walk in an 81-pitch outing.Manager Dave Roberts believes Hill will deliver a quality performance and help the Dodgers continue their march to a fourth straight division title.Obviously, we understand whats at stake, and we just want to play good baseball, Roberts said.The teams meet four more times after Tuesdays contest. They play one more game at Dodger Stadium and conclude a three-game set on the final weekend of the regular season in San Francisco.In addition to its bullpen struggles, San Francisco must shake its second-half funk at the plate.The Giants are hitting .225 with runners in scoring position in the second half, the fourth-lowest average in the majors. San Francisco has produced three hits or fewer with runners in scoring position in 47 of 59 games since the break.

ZAGREB, Croatia -- Croatia didnt have any fans in its national stadium, but it didnt need their support as two Marcelo Brozovic goals brought a 2-0 win over Iceland, opening up a two-point lead at the top of European Group I in World Cup qualifying on Saturday.Forced to play in an empty arena because of numerous cases of spectator unrest, Croatia took the lead early when Brozovic curled in a shot from outside the box.Croatia dominated the rest of the game but struggled to find a second goal in the face of stubborn Icelandic defending, though the Croatians largely dealt well with counterattacks that caused so many problems for top teams at the European Championship.Brozovic wrapped up the game in stoppage time, picking up the ball on the halfway line and charging up the field before smashing the ball past Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson.Ivan Perisic came closest to scoring another for the hosts, but sent one shot straight at Halldorsson, and sliced another narrowly wide. Perisics night went from bad to worse with a red card shortly after Brozovics second goal after he sliced down Birkir Bjarnason with a reckless two-footed challenge.In recent years, Croatia has been given increasingly heavy sanctions for fan unrest including fighting in the stands and flare use at the European Championship, as well as the drawing of a swastika on the pitch ahead of a game against Italy last year.Croatia moved to 10 points at the top of Group I, with Ukraine in second on eight, and Iceland a point furrther behind.dddddddddddd.Also in Group I:UKRAINE 1, FINLAND 0Ukraine leapfrogged Iceland into second place with an unconvincing win over wasteful Finland in Odessa.Artyom Kravets, his head heavily bandaged following a collision, scored the winning goal in the 24th, shedding his marker and sneaking in at the far post to meet Yevhen Konoplyankas cross from the left flank.Finland put up stiff resistance, however, with goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky stopping several promising Ukrainian efforts. At the other end, sloppy defending allowed Finland some gilt-edged chances, but they were wasted under pressure.Oleksandr Kuchers poor backpass put Teemu Pukki one-on-one with Ukraine goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov, who got down low to save. In the 65th another chance went begging as Eero Markkanen somehow fired over from point-blank range. Defeat left the Finns fifth on one point, with hopes of reaching their first World Cup fading fast.TURKEY 2, KOSOVO 0Kosovos difficult start to its first major qualifying competition continued with defeat away to Turkey, but there were signs of progress.Improving on the 6-1 loss to Turkey in a 2014 friendly, Kosovo kept the Turks at bay throughout the first half, but conceded two goals in quick succession from Burak Yilmaz and Volkan Sen shortly after the break. Turkey is fourth in the group, while Kosovo is sixth and last with only a single point. ' ' '
