San Francisco has acquired second baseman Freddy Sanchez from Pittsburgh for minor league right handed pitcher Tim Alderson. Sanchez, 31, a three-time All-Star and 2006 National League batting champion, is hitting .296 with six homers and 34 RBI in 86 games (355 at-bats) this season. The .300 lifetime hitter began his major league career with Boston in 2002-03, but has played for the Pirates the past six seasons. He will be a free agent at season's end. There won't be any plays where I'm not giving 100 percent, he said on the Giants' team Web site. I'm very excited, San Francisco Manager Bruce Bochy said.

The San Francisco Giants have lost future Hall of Fame southpaw Randy Johnson until September due to a partially torn rotator cuff. Johnson, 45, has been moved from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list and can be activated no earlier than Sept.

Pittsburgh's Zack Duke has been named to replace injured San Francisco right-hander Matt Cain on the National League All-Star team. Major League Baseball confirmed the change Sunday. Cain was struck near his right elbow by a line drive early in his start against San Diego Saturday.

Pablo Sandoval hit a two-run homer and six Giants' pitchers scattered six hits Friday in San Francisco's 2-1 win over San Diego. Sandoval drove in Randy Winn with a fourth-inning homer off Padres' starter Tim Stauffer (0-1), who went seven innings, allowing the two runs on four hits with one walk and seven strikeouts. Everth Cabrera scored from second on a throwing error in the eighth to account for the only run for the Padres, who have lost 10 of their last 11 games. Giants' starter Matt Cain left the game with two out in the second after sustaining a right arm injury when he was hit by a line drive.

Barry Bonds wasted no time adding to his home run record: this time, with a two-run shot into the water for No. 757. It helped Bruce Bochy to his 1,000th managerial victory, too.
