EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Eagles destroyed the Giants season a year ago at the Meadowlands with a 28-point onslaught in the final seven minutes. This time, Andy Reids undermanned team used the slow and excruciating method to hurt the Giants once again and tighten the NFC East race. Using a quarterback whose only pass this season had been intercepted to replace Michael Vick and a receiver who did not have a catch all season, Philadelphia marched 80 yards in roughly nine minutes and defeated the Giants 17-10 Sunday night on an eight-yard go-ahead touchdown pass from Vince Young to Riley Cooper with 2:45 to play. "We knew we had to dig deep," said Cooper who had his first five catches of the season for 75 yards, with the final eight being the difference in breathing life into the Eagles (4-6). "Everybody contributed," Cooper said. "It was not just one player, not just one long play. We pieced that last drive together piece by piece." What was so surprising was that the "Dream Team" did it in the fourth quarter, a period that had seen them lose five games earlier this season. The Eagles found the solution this time with an 18-play march over 8:51 that sent the Giants (6-4) to their second straight loss. "Its definitely a big win," said Young, who was 23 of 36 for 258 yards, two touchdown and three interceptions. "You see the excitement and the smiles on the guys and thats what we need, what we have to have." Philadelphia converted six third-down plays with DeSean Jackson setting up the first-and-goal with a 10-yard catch to the 10, and Young capping it with his second touchdown pass of the game to a wide-open Cooper. "We were taking our time, making plays and the guys came up with big plays on third down," Young said. Jackson, who was benched for last weeks game for missing a team meeting, finished with six catches for 88 yards and set up a touchdown pass to former Giant Steve Smith with a 51-yard punt return. LeSean McCoy added 113 yards rushing, with 60 coming on a late run that iced the game. "Vince, stepping in for the great Michael Vick, thats a tough thing to do and he did it and the guys rallied around him," Reid said. "The offensive line and defensive line played well, the offensive line had a huge challenge when it counted and they were able to put some things together." The Eagles, of course, made Reid sweat out the final minutes. Eli Manning, who tied it with a 24-yard TD pass to Victor Cruz earlier in the quarter, drove the Giants from their own 10 to the Eagles 21 with the final 47 yards coming on a catch-and-run by Cruz with 1:25 to play. However, Manning stepped out of the pocket on the next play and was hit from behind by Jason Babin and fumbled. Derek Landi recovered at the 26, sending the Giants to their second straight tough loss, coming on the heels of a seven-point loss to San Francisco, a game that ended with New York at the Niners two-yard line. "It was important because it keeps us alive," linebacker Jamar Chaney said. "We had faith coming in. We really did. We might have been banged up, but we had faith. I feel good about our defensive effort. We came up big. It was time for the defence to make a play and we have a lot of playmakers out there. Jason got the sack and Landri got the ball." It dropped New York into a tie for first place with Dallas in the NFC East with six games to play and left the Eagles two games behind. The Cowboys beat the Redskins in overtime after Washington missed a game-winning field-goal attempt. "This is as big a disappointment as we have had around here in a long time," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said in ripping his team for a no-show effort. It also marked the second straight year the Eagles rallied late to beat New York at the Meadowlands with last years 38-31 decision coming in a game that Philadelphia rallied from 21 points down late. While Young made several big plays to spark the Eagles offence, he also threw three interceptions, the most costly being one that Aaron Ross picked off in the end zone on a second-and-9 from the New York 16 with Philadelphia ahead 10-3 with five minutes left in the third quarter. New York eventually tied it early in the fourth quarter on a 24-yard TD pass from Manning to Cruz. It was set up two plays earlier when Manning rolled out of the pocket and found Hakeem Nicks for a 47-yard gain on third down to the Eagles 24. Manning was 18 of 35 for 264 yards, and Cruz had six catches for 128 yards. The Giants running game failed to get going, rushing for just 29 yards. "We cant always afford to be in those positions," Manning said of the recent late rallies. "I think we still feel confident when we get in there that were going to move the ball and were going to give ourselves a chance to win. It is just a matter of you dont always want to be in that position." The first half was typical of an Eagles-Giants meeting: chippy, intense, hard-fought and, not surprisingly, ugly. If there was a surprise, it was that the defences dominated. The norm was Jackson taunting the Giants in more ways than one, including one that cost the Eagles a 50-yard pass completion. Jackson set up both of the Eagles scores in the first half. He caught a 32-yard pass early in the second quarter to set up a 33-yard field goal by Alex Henery and then brought back excruciating memories from last season with a 51-yard punt return that was a carbon copy of his winning 65-yard punt return on the final play of the Eagles 38-31 Meadowlands Miracle, a game Philadelphia rallied from a 21-point deficit in the final seven-plus minutes. What made the return so eerie was that Jackson fielded Steve Weatherfords punt at his own 35, circled right and then ran down the sideline in front of the Giants bench -- the same thing he did last season. The only difference was Weatherford pushed him out of bounds at the 14; Matt Dodge was the Giants punter last season. It didnt matter. One play later, Young found former Giants receiver Steve Smith cutting under the zone and he easily outran linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka into the end zone with 1:22 left in the half. It was enough time for Manning to get the Giants on the board. A 21-yard pass to Cruz on the first play got the ball the 41 and a late 10-catch by running back D.J. Ware on a play in which he suffered a concussion set up Lawrence Tynes 48-yard field goal.

Britton threw seven scoreless innings, Chris Davis hit a three-run homer and the Orioles snapped the Detroit Tigers four-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory on Saturday night. SEATTLE -- Felix Hernandez walked off the mound in the ninth inning knowing the gem he just tossed was one of the best outings of his career. Yet he still stood on the top step of the Seattle Mariners dugout in the ninth inning begging for a run to make sure this brilliant effort came in a win. "Just score one run. One run is all I need," Hernandez thought as the bottom of the ninth started. Thanks to John Jaso and Casper Wells, Hernandez got his deserved victory. Hernandez matched his career high with 13 strikeouts in a brilliant five-hitter and Jasos pinch-hit single in the bottom of the ninth scored Wells to give the Mariners a 1-0 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night. Hernandez (6-5) tossed his fifth career shutout and was one of the first out of the Mariners dugout after Wells belly-flopped onto home plate with the only run. "Tonight is as good as Ive ever seen him," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "Against a lot of veteran hitters, a lot of good hitters, and a 0-0 ballgame like that, you couldnt ask for anything more." It was the third straight start where Hernandez looked more like the Cy Young winner he was in 2010. It was his 19th career 10-strikeout game and the first time hes ever struck out at least 10 in consecutive starts. The last Mariners pitcher to accomplish that was Freddy Garcia back in 1999. His fastball was moving late and his breaking balls had bite. It was the third time in his career Hernandez struck out 13, the most recent coming on May 22, 2011, at San Diego. "Thats the best weve seen. He was unreal. His stuff was moving all over the place," Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. "He kept the ball out of the middle of the plate. He was pretty special tonight." The only time Hernandez was tested came in the ninth. It was quite the challenge. Hernandez struck out Pedroia on a 3-2 pitch to open the ninth inning. David Ortiz responded with a line drive back up the middle on a hanging curveball that sent Hernandez sprawling to avoid the shot. He got ahead of Saltalamacchia 1-2, but missed on the edges and walked him on a 3-2 pitch, allowing a runner to second base for just the third time in the game. Newly acquired Brent Lillibridge pinch-ran for Ortiz, with Adrian Gonzalez coming to the plate. Hernandez almost instantly fell behind Gonzalez 3-0, but fought back to 3-2 before Gonzalez fouled off the next four pitches. On the ninth pitch, Gonzalez hit a shot to deep left-ceentre that Michael Saunders chased down just before the wall.dddddddddddd Will Middlebrooks then popped out and Hernandez was left waiting to see if the Mariners offence could get him a run. "Thats one of the only parks that holds that ball," Boston manager Bobby Valentine said of Gonzalezs shot. Seattles ninth-inning rally started after Jesus Montero weakly flied out to open the inning. Wells lined a double into the gap in left-centre and Boston followed by surprisingly issuing an intentional walk to Justin Smoak, who had just one hit in his previous 13 at-bats. That decision also allowed Wedge to use Jaso instead of Miguel Olivo with the Red Sox out of left-handers in the bullpen. Jaso, who already led the team in game-winning RBIs didnt waste time. Jasos hard single into right field gave Ross enough time to field the ball and make a strong throw to the plate. Saltalamacchia appeared to have plenty of time to apply the tag, but reacted with disgust when he saw the ball on the ground. "I think its just having a calm approach, you can really start to come out of your shoes and try to do more than what you normally do, what your normal approach is," Jaso said. "I think treat it like a first or second AB of the game, just looking for a pitch you can hit." Wells double and winning run capped a night where he was a star both at the plate and in the field. Boston batters tested Wells twice in the eighth inning. He took away a hit from Mike Aviles with a sliding catch for the second out of the inning. Moments later, Wells was racing toward the left-field corner and made an even better backhanded sliding catch while crashing into the padded wall for the final out of the inning. Aviles was the only batter in the Red Sox lineup that Hernandez did not strike out at least once. "This year, this is the best game that Ive thrown," Hernandez said. "I was throwing a lot of strikes and all the pitches were working." NOTES: Seattle CF Franklin Gutierrez left after a single in the fourth inning when he was hit in the face on a pick-off attempt. ... Boston OF Jacoby Ellsbury and OF Scott Podsednik will both begin rehab assignments Friday. Ellsbury will be with the Red Soxs rookie league club in the Gulf Coast League, while Podsednik will begin his rehab at Triple-A Pawtucket. ... Seattles first-round draft pick, Mike Zunino, won the Johnny Bench award on Thursday night as the top catcher in college baseball.
