SAN FRANCISCO -- Madison Bumgarner pitched himself into the San Francisco record book, took a share of the major league lead for wins and, most important to the soft-spoken southpaw, moved his team one step closer in an NL West race that could go down to the wire. Bumgarner struck out eight on the way to his 18th victory, and the Giants moved within one game of NL West-leading Los Angeles by beating the Dodgers 9-0 on Friday night. "Its not hard to get up for the Dodgers series, especially the circumstances were in," Bumgarner said. "The offence did an unbelievable job and kept scoring runs." Pinch-hitter Travis Ishikawa splashed a three-run homer into McCovey Cove, and Brandon Crawford hit a two-run drive in the fifth to help Bumgarner win his fifth straight start. Buster Posey and Crawford hit RBI doubles in the first as the Giants jumped on Hyun-Jin Ryu (14-7). The Dodgers left-hander exited after only one inning because of irritation in his pitching shoulder. He said its similar to the problem he dealt with in May that landed him on the disabled list, raising doubt whether he will pitch again this season. Ryu will be re-examined Saturday in the Bay Area. "Im staying positive. I felt this before in the past, so hopefully it will be the same time that it took to recover from that," Ryu said through a translator. "I think it was a week or two." San Francisco, which leads the NL wild-card race, is one game back of Los Angeles for the first time since Aug. 4. The Giants have won a season-best 10 straight home games after handing the Dodgers their fifth shutout loss. This group has its swagger back at home. "Its as good as it can be. Its been that way for a while now," Bumgarner said. "Weve got a lot of guys who have been here and done this before." Bumgarner (18-9) reached 200 strikeouts for the first time in his career when he fanned Scott Van Slyke in the second. The lefty is tied with Dodgers Sunday starter Clayton Kershaw, Cincinnatis Johnny Cueto and the Cardinals Adam Wainwright for most wins in the majors. Los Angeles lined up its top starters for this series, while Giants manager Bruce Bochy opted to keep his pitchers on their regular schedule because things have been working well so far in September. "Its for first place. Were a game behind them," Crawford said. "We know the stakes." The Dodgers had the best road record in baseball and swept the Giants in three games at AT&T Park from July 25-27 -- outscoring San Francisco 17-4. "Its live theatre every night, we just dont know the ending here," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said before the game. Posey hit an RBI double in the first that sent the orange towel-twirling fans into a frenzy. Hunter Pence followed with a run-scoring single, then Joaquin Arias added an RBI single. San Franciscos home winning streak is its longest since an 11-game run from July 7-25, 2003, which is the best in the 15-year history of AT&T Park. The shutout matched the Giants largest at home against the Dodgers since moving to San Francisco in 1958. The Giants also beat Los Angeles 9-0 on June 25, 1968. Bumgarner needs two wins over his final three starts to become the Giants first 20-game winner since John Burkett (22) and Bill Swift (21) in 1993. Bumgarner has 207 strikeouts, most in a season by a San Francisco left-hander. Ishikawas second career pinch-hit homer was the 102nd into the water and 67th by a San Francisco hitter. "Its a big series," Bochy said. "Any time you can jump ahead, its huge for the club." TRAINERS ROOM Dodgers: LHP Paco Rodriguez, on the disabled list since Aug. 4 with strained muscle below his pitching shoulder, threw a simulated game that went well. If he bounces back fine, Mattingly said a decision could be made as soon as Saturday about activating Rodriguez. Giants: 1B Brandon Belt took batting practice a day after being medically cleared from a concussion. ... OF-1B Michael Morse missed his 10th straight game with a strained left oblique. He took some pregame swings but still needs at least a couple of days. UP NEXT Dodgers: RHP Zack Greinke (14-8, 2.73 ERA) puts his unbeaten mark against NL West opponents this season on the line in the middle game of the series. He is 9-0 in 12 starts vs. the division. Giants: RHP Tim Hudson (9-10, 3.12) makes his 16th career start against the Dodgers and second this season, trying to end a two-start skid.

Next years tournament is also within sight for Bosnia-Herzegovina, which has never played in a World Cup, but Cristiano Ronaldo looks destined for the playoffs with Portugal after a night when the qualifying picture in the nine groups became much clearer. The Netherlands had already secured their passage to the World Cup before their 8-1 demolition of Hungary, featuring a hat trick by Robin van Persie that put the Manchester United striker top of his countrys all-time scoring chart with 41 goals. Germany eased past Ireland 3-0 through goals by Sami Khedira, Andre Schuerrle and Mesut Ozil to guarantee first place in Group C and reach footballs biggest tournament for the 16th straight time. "Weve won eight from nine games and we should have won the ninth," Germany coach Joachim Loew said. For Belgium, though, it will be a first World Cup in 12 years after the countrys so-called golden generation topped Group A with a 2-1 win in Croatia, with striker Romelu Lukaku scoring twice. "Its a party in Belgium. What more can you ask?" said coach Marc Wilmots, whose team played in front of Belgian Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo in Zagreb. Switzerland prompted a jubilant tweet from tennis great Roger Federer after beating Albania 2-1 to win Group E with a game to spare and advance to the World Cup for a third successive occasion. "Switzerland made it to the World Cup, how happy am I on a scale 1-10?" Federer wrote. "About a 25." Spain beat Belarus 2-1 through second-half goals by Xavi Hernandez and Alvaro Negredo and requires just one point from a home match against Georgia to guarantee the world champions will defend their title next summer. England stayed top of Group H, a point clear of Ukraine, after an impressive second-half display sealed a 4-1 win over Montenegro, with in-form strikers Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge and debutant Andros Townsend among the scorers. The English now just need a victory over Poland on Tuesday to go through automatically but a draw will let in Ukraine, which beat the Poles 1-0 and have an easy match against San Marino left.dddddddddddd "It is only a half-done job, but it is nice to know whatever happens we will not be out," said England coach Roy Hodgson, whose team cant finish lower than second place. The scenario is easier for Russia after its 4-0 win in Luxembourg, which left Fabio Capellos team three points ahead of Portugal and needing only a draw in Azerbaijan to guarantee first place. Portugal conceded a goal to Eden Ben Basat with five minutes left to draw 1-1 at home to Israel and virtually ensure it will be in next months two-legged playoffs, which feature the top eight runners-up. Helped by two goals by Edin Dzeko, Group G leader Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Liechtenstein 4-1 at home and can qualify automatically for its first major tournament with a win at Lithuania on Tuesday. Greece defeated Slovakia 1-0 and is level on points with the Bosnians, but has a vastly inferior goal difference. Elsewhere, Sweden joined Croatia in the playoffs after securing second place in Germanys group with a 2-1 home victory over Austria, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic grabbing a late winner. They are the only two countries definitely in the two-legged playoffs, which will played on Nov. 15 and 19. Italy, which qualified along with the Dutch last month, equalized in injury time to draw 2-2 at Denmark and leave Bulgaria second on goal difference in Group B despite a 2-1 loss in Armenia. Iceland stayed second behind Switzerland after overcoming Cyprus 2-0, while Turkey and Romania won away games on Friday to stay tied on points behind the Netherlands with one match remaining. The Turks have the edge on goal difference but finish off against the Dutch, who showed they are in no mood to relax by ripping apart Hungary in Amsterdam. Van Persie scored twice before half time and seven minutes into the second half to go one goal ahead of Patrick Kluivert in the all-time list. "Records are made to be broken ... Im happy for him," said Kluivert, who is now one of Netherlands coach Louis van Gaals assistants. Thirteen of the 32 spots at the World Cup are now set. The United States, Argentina, Australia, Costa Rica, Iran, Japan and South Korea had also already qualified before Friday, and Brazil gets an automatic berth as host. Colombia and Chile were in position to advance later Friday. ' ' 'a very good rendition." ' ' '
