SAN FRANCISCO -- Johnny Cueto didnt see much significance in facing the New York Mets for the first time since Game 2 of last years World Series.Getting the struggling Giants back on track and into first place in the NL West was far more important to the All-Star pitcher.With San Franciscos suddenly rejuvenated offense providing plenty of help, Cueto accomplished both tasks.Cueto pitched seven effective innings and ended his six-start winless streak, and the Giants broke away late from the Mets 8-1 Friday night.This is where were going to see what kind of team we have, Cueto said through a translator after San Franciscos second straight win. This is when all the hitters and pitchers have to come together. We have to grind it out until the end.Cueto (14-3) allowed one run and eight hits, walking none and striking out two.The last time he saw the Mets was in October, when he beat them with a two-hitter while pitching for Kansas City.Denard Span had four hits and Conor Gillaspie homered as the Giants won their second straight over the Mets and moved back ahead of the Dodgers for the NL West lead. Pinch-hitter Ehire Adrianza singled to break a 1-all tie in the seventh.San Francisco has scored 18 runs with 32 hits in the last two days against the Mets.I know we went through a tough stretch but theyre good hitters, manager Bruce Bochy said. It gives you a margin of error, a little cushion. Its important when you can add on.Curtis Granderson homered and Jose Reyes added four hits for the Mets.Before the game, New York activated Yoenis Cespedes and Asdrubal Cabrera from the 15-day disabled list with the hopes they could provide a boost for the Mets slumping offense.They each went 1 for 4, and Cabreras throwing error from shortstop help the Giants score five times in the eighth.When you go through bad stretches it is everything, Mets manager Terry Collins said. You look at different things -- a couple of baserunning blunders, a couple of errors there, then all of a sudden the bullpen.The lack of hits offset a mostly strong outing from Seth Lugo (0-2) in his first major league start.Pressed into duty when Steven Matz was scratched late Thursday with a sore left shoulder, Lugo allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings. He struck out two and walked one.The Giants chased Lugo with two runs in the seventh then put it away in the eighth.SPLASH DOWNGranderson homered into McCovey Cove with two outs in the second, his second home run in four games and 20th this season. Its the second time Granderson has reached the waters at AT&T Park and it marked the 40th time an opposing player has done it, including the playoffs.PAGAN CONTINUES STREAKAngel Pagan singled in the sixth to extend his hitting streak to 17 games, the longest active mark in the majors. Its three games shy of his career high set in 2012.TRAINERS ROOMMets: Matz will fly back to New York on Sunday and will have his sore left shoulder examined on Monday. ...

Chittagong Vikings 185 for 5 (Smith 69, Malik 63, Kamrul 2-29) beat Barisal Bulls 107 (Enamul 42*Nabi 3-16, Roy 2-16) by 78 runsScorecardMohammad Nabi led a solid bowling display by Chittagong Vikings, who bowled out Barisal Bulls for 107 to seal a 78-run win in their 2016-17 Bangladesh Premier League clash in Chittagong. This came after half-centuries from Dwayne Smith and Shoaib Malik powered Chittagong to 185 for 5 after they opted to make first use of the surface.Nabi took out the Barisal openers in the second over of the chase, and when he dismissed Jeevan Mendis in his next over, Barisal were reeling at 12 for 4. It wouldnt be long before Nabi would be in the thick of things again as he plucked a catch at deep midwicket to send back Mushfiqur Rahim, who had added 25 for the fifth wicket with Rayad Emrit. That Barisal got to 107 was down to Enamul Haques unbeaten 42 at No. 8. Enamul walked out with the score 37 for 6 - it would soon become 39 for 7 - and began a brief recovery through a 42-run eighth-wicket stand with Taijul Islam. That would make for scant compensation, however, as Barisal added 26 more for the last two wickets before folding in the 19th over. Enamul was left unbeaten on 42 off 37 balls. He had struck one four and four sixes.Nabi finished with 3 ffor 16 in three overs and had support all around.dddddddddddd Subashis Roy, who opened the bowling, and Taskin Ahmed were both economical and took two wickets each. Malik and Imran Khan, the left-arm medium pacer, took a wicket apiece.When Chittagong batted, they enjoyed a solid start from Tamim Iqbal, the captain, and Smith who put on 43 in 5.4 overs for the first wicket. Tamim struck a run-a-ball 19 before falling to the right-arm medium pace of Kamrul Islam Rabbi. It was then the turn of Anamul Haque to play second fiddle to Smith in a 39-run second-wicket partnership. Malik joined Smith in the 11th over and Chittagong biffed 103 runs in 58 balls during his stay. Smiths burst was ended by Thisara Perera in the 16th over when he was caught at deep midwicket for a 49-ball 69 that contained six fours and three sixes. But Malik ensured a strong finish for Chittagong as they slammed 55 runs in the last four overs. Malik fell off the final ball of the innings for a 30-ball 63. He pinged nine fours and two sixes.Kamrul took two wickets, as did Perera, although he leaked 37 runs in four overs. Emrit finished with 1 for 41 from his quota of overs. ' ' '
