EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants might have to walk the plank if they don’t get better at taking possessions away from opponents. Sitting on the sideline during practice this offseason is a wooden chest – a “turnover chest,” if you will – that contains no gold, silver or jewels. But to the Giants, what does go in there is even more valuable. kAm(96? 2 5676?D:G6 A=2J6C 8:G6D E96 962G6\9@ E@ E96 @776?D6 3J 4C62E:?8 2 EFC?@G6C – 2?

PITTSBURGH — There wasn’t much emotion from Framber Valdez as he left the mound — it was a little too late in the night for that. But at 11:55 p.m., when the Houston Astros lefty entered his dugout, a few fist bumps and high-fives from teammates were enough for a job well done. Seven innings from Valdez and two homers from third baseman Isaac Paredes led the Astros to a 8-2 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park, earning a series victory.
