He led the Giants down to the New England 1 after a critical third-down pass-interference call on Patriots safety Sergio Brown

But Manning quickly quieted them. He led the Giants down to the New England 1 after a critical third-down pass-interference call on Patriots safety Sergio Brown. Three plays later, Ballard pulled in the biggest catch of his career near the left side of the end zone to set off the Giants' celebration.
It was an incongruous finish, as the first points of the game were not scored until nearly five minutes into the third quarter, when Lawrence Tynes kicked a 22-yard field goal that capped the Giants' best drive to that point. Brady gave the Giants their opening when he threw his second interception (Deon Grant picked it off at the Giants' 39) and Manning completed passes of 18 yards (to Victor Cruz) and 30 yards (to Ballard) that took the Giants to the New England 11.
At that point, a touchdown would have felt like a wide margin, but the Giants stalled, getting 7 yards on two running plays before Manning's quick pass to Cruz fell incomplete on third down to set up Tynes's kick. 

Second baseman Johnny Giavotella took the relay from Francoeur and threw home

Second baseman Johnny Giavotella took the relay from Francoeur and threw home. Catcher Sal Perez held the ball for the out after absorbing a bone-jarring jolt from Weeks.
That first assist marked the 25th runner thrown out at the plate by the Royals on a play that originated in the outfield. That's the most by any team since Montreal had 30 in 1978.
The two assists also boosted Francoeur's season total to 15, which ranks second in the majors to the club-record 20 by teammate Alex Gordon. Francoeur has 96 assists since his 2005 debut.
Rare start
Mitch Maier played for just the sixth time since July 28 when he started in center field in place of Melky Cabrera. It marked Maier's 17th start of the season and sixth in center field. He has six starts in left field, and five in right field.
Maier went hitless in three at-bats with two strikeouts.
40-20 Club
Francoeur stole his 20th base in Tuesday's 7-4 victory, which extended his career-best total. He never had more than eight in any of his six previous seasons. He also has a career-best 44 doubles, which led the majors through Tuesday's games.
The only other players in franchise history to reach the 40-20 threshold are Johnny Damon (42 doubles, a league-leading 46 steals) in 2000, and Carlos Beltran (44 doubles, 35 steals) in 2002.
Francoeur entered Wednesday as the only player this season to reach 40-20.
Instructional League roster
The Royals released a 79-player roster for the upcoming Instructional League, which runs from Sept. 18 through Oct. 24 at the club's complex in Surprise, Ariz.
The invites include outfielder Bubba Starling and 21 other players selected in the June draft. Outfielder Elier Hernandez and shortstop Adalberto Mondesi, the organization's top two international signings, will also attend.
The 17-game schedule starts Sept. 26 against Cincinnati in Goodyear, Ariz.

In early hearings, prosecutors underscored that they thought the evidence against Strauss-Kahn was formidable. And it appeared so at first, the official said.

"In the beginning, it was a strong case. There was a victim and several witnesses and forensic evidence that supported the victim's claim," the official said.
