WASHINGTON - The San Francisco Giants and Washington Nationals both missed the post-season last year. Thats pretty much where the similarities end heading into Fridays NL Division Series opener.Bruce Bochy has managed the Giants to two of the past four World Series championships. Nationals skipper Matt Williams is about to lead a team in the playoffs for the first time.The Giants have won eight consecutive post-season games, including an 8-0 wild-card victory at Pittsburgh on Wednesday night.The NL East champion Nationals, most of whom have never won a playoff series, spent Wednesday at their home ballpark playing an intrasquad scrimmage between groups they dubbed The Face-Eaters a€” a reference to Jayson Werths 2013 comment about showing up for a game ready to eat somebodys face a€” and Team Alpha.It was dressed up to look and sound like the real thing: Fake crowd noise was piped in; videos were shown on the scoreboard; the game-day PA announcer introduced players; rookie reliever Aaron Barrett even sang the national anthem.All in all, it was good camaraderie and good competition and got the juices flowing a little bit, which is what was needed, reliever Tyler Clippard said, referring to the four-day break the Nationals will have had between Sundays regular-season finale and the series start. It was a game situation. We in this clubhouse are very competitive people, and want to beat each other just as bad as we want to beat everybody else.First baseman Adam LaRoche joked the Giants confidence is up because of their win against the Pirates, but we just had a big intrasquad yesterday, so our confidence is up, too.Both teams worked out at Nationals Park on Thursday, and both managers announced their starting pitchers for Games 1-3.Fridays matchup between Washingtons Stephen Strasburg and San Franciscos Jake Peavy a€” pals who sometimes work out together in San Diego a€” gives one indication of the gap in experience the series represents. Strasburg, held out of the 2012 post-season to protect his surgically repaired elbow, will be making his playoff debut; Peavy will be making his sixth October start, including as a member of last seasons World Series champion Boston Red Sox.Their catchers are also illustrate the difference between the teams: Strasburg will be throwing to Wilson Ramos, who was injured in 2012 and never has participated in a playoff game; Peavy will work with Buster Posey, a member of the Giants 2010 and 2012 title teams, along with the 2012 NL MVP winner.Game 2 will feature Jordan Zimmermann against Tim Hudson, and Game 3 will have Doug Fister against Madison Bumgarner, who threw a four-hit shutout against Pittsburgh in San Franciscos seventh consecutive victory in an elimination game.Once we get to the post-season, its like a new season for us, said Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford, who hit a grand slam Wednesday. We have plenty of ups and downs during the regular season, but now its kind of a new slate for us.The Giants finished second in the NL West at 88-74 after going only 41-40 in the second half. Washington went 53-28 in that span, and a majors-best 21-9 in its last 30, to finish 96-66, the NLs best record.We may not match up with a lot of people on paper, Hudson said. But I think once you get out there and play, the guts and the heart that this team has ... gets this team over the hump a lot of times.What the Nationals insisted Thursday is that their trip to the playoffs in 2012 a€” which ended with a gut-punch loss in Game 5 of their NLDS against St. Louis a€” provided plenty of know-how.We kind of know what to expect a little bit more now, said Ryan Zimmerman, whose injured right leg seemed fine Thursday as he put in work in left field. We went into 12 not really knowing what to expect and thinking that everything would be the same. And its not the same. ... Every pitch is so much more intense. Its just a different feel.Something the Giants know well.They have a similar-type club that we have. ... Guys not necessarily that are the best players, but they play well together, which is good. We do the same exact thing, Clippard said, and I think, you know, were the better club.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Serge Aurier Jersey . Orlov, who scored two goals in the game, was assessed a major penalty for boarding on the play. The Flyers scored once on the power play and again with the extra attacker with 65 seconds remaining to send the game to overtime. Victor Wanyama Jersey . Kyle Shanahan was hired as offensive co-ordinator Monday after spending the previous four years in the same role with the Washington Redskins. http://www.hotspurfcproshop.com/jan-vert...spur-jersey-uk/. There is no argument that the line of Pacioretty, David Desharnais and Thomas Vanek was one of the hottest in the NHL leading into the post-season, and they did combine for three goals and seven points, but it was the depth of all four lines that helped propel Montreal. Michel Vorm Jersey .A caravan greeted the former Boston Red Sox pitcher at the airport and took him to a public park in Santo Domingo, where a crowd lined a 19-mile stretch of highway to catch a glimpse of him.Once at the park, Martinez went on stage accompanied by players David Ortiz and Robinson Cano as merengue music played and fireworks lit up the sky. Fernando Llorente Jersey . "Weve given ourselves now a tougher task," said Carlyle after the Friday practice, the Toronto head coach notably chipper and upbeat throughout. "But the bottom line is we just have to win our share of games [and] not worry about what anybody else is doing.MINNEAPOLIS -- Tyler Holt arrived at Target Field 25 minutes before the first pitch. The Cleveland Indians rookie had a quick bite to eat, took a few swings in the batting cage and then got the biggest hit of his young career. Yan Gomes had three hits including a home run, Holt hit a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning, and Cleveland rallied to beat the Minnesota Twins 7-5 on Tuesday night. Holt thought he might enter the game in the seventh or eighth inning. Instead, Indians bench coach Brad Mills fetched Holt from the batting cage in the sixth and told him he was pinch-hitting for Chris Dickerson. "I didnt have any time to think or get ready," said Holt, now on his fourth stint with Cleveland this season. "I just threw on some gloves. Luckily, I didnt have time to think. Id probably strike out or something." With two outs in the sixth, Holt doubled home Gomes and Lonnie Chisenhall for his first two career RBIs. The line drive to right-centre came off reliever Brian Duensing (3-3) and gave the Indians a 6-5 lead. Michael Bourn singled home Holt to make it a two-run game. Oswaldo Arcia homered in his third straight game for Minnesota, capping a five-run first where Joe Mauer and Kennys Vargas also drove in runs. However, Indians starter Trevor Bauer settled down and retired the next 14 batters before coming out for Kyle Crockett (3-0), who got the final out in the fifth and one in the sixth. Cody Allen -- the last of seven Indians relievers to appear in the game -- pitched the ninth for his 16th save in 17 chances. Gomes homered in the second and Zach Walters two-run single cut Minnesotas lead to 5-3 in the fourth. Arcias three-run homer was his fifth in his last seven games and 13th this season, one shy of his 2013 rookie total. Minnesota starter Kyle Gibson allowed five runs in 5 1-3 innings and bounced a two-out, two-strike wild pitch in the fifth that allowed Bourn to score and make it 5-4. "I dont know if I just wasnt as aggressive or what, but I definitely didnt do a very good job of pitching with the lead tonight," Gibson said. Adding to Holts chaotic day, his cab driver from the airport didnt know how to get to Target Field.dddddddddddd "These guys battle until the 27th out," Holt said about the Indians, winners of six of their last eight. "Its not a surprise that they came back. Luckily I got the opportunity to come through." BULLPEN STEPS UP Indians manager Terry Francona was playing matchups with the steady stream of relievers who managed to hold Minnesota scoreless. The bullpen looked at it as a challenge to come up big after the offence rallied. "We thrive off of that," Allen said. "The offence gave us a chance to get back in the game and then we had to come through." TRAINERs ROOM Indians: 1B Nick Swisher had his injured right knee examined by a specialist in California, and Francona said the team would provide an update on his condition Wednesday. Also, the Indians placed OF Ryan Raburn on the DL before the game, recalling OF Holt from Triple-A Columbus to take his place. Raburn has been bothered all season by a sore right wrist that he aggravated last week while making a diving catch. The decision was made after Raburn took early batting practice. "You know what, man?" Francona said he told him. "Lets calm this thing down." The manager hoped Raburn could start a rehab assignment before hes eligible to be activated. Twins: General manager Terry Ryan ruled out a return this year for RHP Mike Pelfrey, who has been out since making his fifth start in early May, first because of a groin problem and then an elbow injury that required surgery. Pelfrey has resumed playing catch, but time is running out on the season. "Well start him fresh next year and hell be a piece of spring training, but I dont see any reason why we ought to push that." Pelfrey is under contract for $5.5 million in 2015, but the competition for rotation spots will be crowded. UP NEXT: TWINS: Ricky Nolasco (5-8) starts the second game of this three-game series on Wednesday and will be looking for his first win since July 1. INDIANS: TJ House (1-3) has allowed three or fewer earned runs in eight straight starts and nine of his first 12. The Indians will try to climb three games above .500 for the first time since July 19.
