MONTREAL -- Injuries are mounting for the Montreal Alouettes, with receiver Brandon London and running back Victor Anderson the latest to join the list. Coach Marc Trestman said Tuesday that London will have surgery to repair an injured meniscus in a knee suffered in a 24-12 win at Toronto on Sunday. He expects the lanky receiver to require three months of rehab. Anderson suffered a concussion and will sit out a game Saturday at Saskatchewan. The offence was already missing its leading receiver S.J. Green, who may be ready to return next week, and running back Brandon Whitaker, who is gone for the season with a knee injury. They are also missing kick returner Trent Guy with a concussion. The good news for Trestman was that linebacker Marc-Olivier Brouillette will be able to play, although hell be wearing a cast on a fractured wrist. And receiver Eric Deslauriers, who had sore ribs, is also ready. The fifth-year coach is down to two healthy regular receivers, Jamel Richardson and Brian Bratton, and is using third-string running back Chris Jennings. But he isnt overly concerned. "Its exciting and challenging," he said. "Its part of football. "We look at it as a glass half full even though weve got a lot of guys down. So does everybody else. Were excited to put a game plan together that gets the best out of all our guys." He said Noel Devine, who played two games earlier this season, will likely dress as a running back and to help with kick returns, and Lavisier Tuinei will come off the practice roster to play receiver. They also have Bo Bowling on hand as a receiver and a returner. Jennings, a big, power back, was impressive after Anderson was hurt in Toronto, carrying 10 times for 86 yards. The Alouettes defence was key to the win in Toronto, led by linebacker Shea Emry who was named both top defensive player and best Canadian for the week by the CFL. Emry returned an interception 46 yards for Montreals first defensive touchdown of the season. The 9-6 team has already secured a home playoff date and can clinch first place in the East Division with one more win in its final three regular-season games. The Alouettes dont want to repeat their late-season slide last year, when they lost their last three games to finish second to Winnipeg at 10-8. "Finishing seasons is tough," said Trestman. "The weather changes, everyones edge is higher, everyones fighting for positions. "I dont know how this will unfold.

"He said, Take it easy. Ill protect you," Scutaro said. "Thats a lot of protection." Throughout a wild, wacky game that featured 30 hits, 17 runs and 13 pitchers, protection proved to be a theme for a Giants team that refused to quit. They built a 4-0 lead, then trailed by three and blew a chance to win in the ninth. Only fitting they showed the same fight at the finish. Scutaro singled home the winning run in the 10th inning after Buster Poseys tying double in the ninth, and the Giants rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-8 on Monday. "Thats probably one of the best wins," Posey said, "if not the best win of the year." Brandon Crawford beat out a single to short leading off the final inning and moved to second when Brett Pill dropped his first career sacrifice bunt. Angel Pagan grounded out to first to advance Crawford to third. Scutaro sent the final fastball from Bryan Shaw (1-5) past diving third baseman Chris Johnson for San Franciscos seventh walk-off win this season. Scutaro, the former super-sub in Oakland who came over in a trade with Colorado after the All-Star break, also doubled and scored the tying run in the ninth to help hand J.J. Putz his second straight blown save. Putz had converted 19 consecutive saves until blowing a chance in a loss to the Dodgers on Sunday. "Tremendous comeback," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Its a little different in September, theres no getting around it." Sergio Romo (4-2) struck out two in a perfect inning for the Giants to earn the win. Scutaro hit a double to left leading off the ninth against Putz and moved to third on Sandovals groundout. Posey doubled down the left-field line to score Scutaro. Putz intentionally walked Hunter Pence and struck out Xavier Nady swinging. With a full count and an announced sellout crowd of 42,045 roaring to its feet, he struck out Hector Sanchez and quieted AT&T Park. At least for a little, anyway. The Giants, coming off a 5-1 road trip against Chicago and Houston, returned home with a 4 1/2-game lead over the Dodgers in the NL West. The loss gave Arizona, now 11 1/2 back of San Francisco, another blow to its fading playoff hopes. "I got beat. I didnt make a pitch when I needed to, bottom line," Putz said. ";It was a (expletive) pitch to Scutaro to start the inning.dddddddddddd. Thats not the way you want to start." The Giants handed starter Barry Zito plenty of support in the first inning and looked poised to pull away early. No chance. On a relatively warm, windless day by San Francisco standards, the ball carried well all afternoon. Poseys fly drifted over the head of right fielder Justin Upton and off the scoreboard for a double that scored Scutaro. Pence followed with a two-run triple and Sanchezs infield single gave the Giants a 4-0 lead. Zito struck out five of the first seven he faced and had Arizonas hitters chasing pitches all over the zone and in the dirt -- until he didnt. In the fifth, Chris Johnson sent an 80 mph cutter over the wall in left for his 14th home run, a two-run shot that sliced San Franciscos lead to 4-2. Zito was replaced by Guillermo Moto after allowing consecutive singles to Upton and Jason Kubel to open the sixth. Arizona sent ten batters to the plate in the inning while getting an RBI from five different players -- Johnson, Paul Goldschmidt, Willie Bloomquist, Chris Young and Aaron Hill -- to take a 7-4 lead. Goldschmidts double was the only extra-base hit. Zito gave up four runs and seven hits and struggled to go deep for the second straight start. Arizona starter Patrick Corbin followed suit, allowing four runs and seven hits in five innings. Both struck out six and walked none. Zito left with a 4-2 lead, a light ovation from fans and a mess Mota couldnt clean up. Mota, who came back last week following a 100-game suspension for his second positive drug test, gave up two hits, a walk and was charged with three runs before the boo-birds pelted the pitcher. Sandoval singled home Pagan in the seventh as San Francisco began its own rally. After Upton added an RBI single for Arizona in the eighth, Crawford hit an RBI double and pinch-hitter Brandon Belt followed with a two-out single to bring the Giants within a run. David Hernandez, who started the inning, got Pagan out on hard line drive to right field for the final out of the eighth. "Thats in the bonus column right there," Zito said. "Its those ones that really make the difference when the year is over." NOTES Aubrey Huffs pinch-hit single for the Giants in the seventh was his first hit since June 10 against Texas. ...
