SANTA CLARA, Calif. Robert Mathis Jersey . -- Chris Wondolowski scored his MLS-leading 26th goal and the San Jose Earthquakes came back twice in the second half for a 2-2 tie with the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday. Wondolowskis goal, a diving header in the 73rd minute off Marvin Chavezs corner kick, put him one behind Roy Lassiters season MLS scoring mark with one game left. The Earthquakes (19-6-8), who clinched the Supporters Shield when Sporting Kansas City tied New York on Saturday, finish their regular season Saturday in Portland. Wondolowski moved into a tie for second place on the leagues goal list. Stern John had 26 goals for Columbus in 1998, and Mamadou Diallo accomplished the feat for Tampa Bay in 2000. Robbie Keane scored his 12th goal in 15 games, and Edson Buddle, making his first start since May 26, nodded in his third of the season to stake the Galaxy to a pair of second-half leads. But Marvin Chavez curled home a beautiful free kick, and Wondolowski finally broke through after hitting the post twice in successive minutes earlier in the second half. San Jose extended its unbeaten streak at Buck Shaw Stadium to 18 matches, moving to 11-0-7 since Aug. 13, 2011. The Earthquakes are unbeaten in eight matches overall. The Galaxy (15-12-6) are virtually assured of finishing fourth in the Western Conference, and thus having to play an extra post-season match. Los Angeles outshot San Jose 11-2 in the first half, carving up San Joses defence with threaded through balls. Christian Wilhelmssons ninth-minute toe-poke beat goalkeeper Jon Busch but rolled just wide. Busch charged off his line to make saves against Buddle in the 22nd minute and Keane in the 27th. Wondolowski hit the post with a left-footed shot from 22 yards in the 49th minute, then banged an open back-post header from a corner kick off the woodwork the following minute. San Jose had three chances but couldnt score in a wild 51st-minute goalmouth scramble. The Galaxy grabbed back the momentum in the 59th with a play started and finished by Keane. The Irish international sprung Buddle loose on the left wing, and the return cross bounced off two Earthquakes defenders and dropped down for Keane to jam home at the edge of the 6-yard box. San Jose responded in the 61st minute with a beautiful 25-yard free kick from Chavez, who bent his effort over the wall and tucked it just inside the near post. Buddle outjumped Victor Bernardez in the 69th minute to knock home a relatively simple header off Sean Franklins deep right-wing cross. But the Quakes tied things up with another set-piece strike in the 73rd minute. Chavez delivered a corner into a seething Galaxy box, where Wondolowski conjured up a diving header for his eighth goal in six games. Dwight Freeney Jersey .

HOUSTON -- San Francisco Giants reliever Guillermo Mota was activated from the restricted list on Tuesday after serving a 100-game suspension for his second positive drug test. Left-hander Jeremy Affeldt has been placed on the paternity list to make room on the roster for Mota. Mota tested positive for Clenbuterol, which he says was in childrens cough syrup. His first suspension came in November 2006 when he was with the New York Mets. San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy never considered not bringing Mota back. Some thought the Giants might not want to call him up in the wake of All-Star Game MVP Melky Cabreras 50-game suspension for a positive testosterone test. "Everybody makes mistakes," Bochy said. "I do, you do, we all do and when you do there are consequences and hes paid the consequences with a pretty good suspension ... there was no question in bringing him up. What can you do, condemn the man for that? No, I wouldnt want to do that." Mota said he knows he should have read the label of the cough syrup before taking it, and that he plans to be more careful in the future. Hell have to be, as a third positive test would result in a lifetime ban. "What I did was a mistake and I did not read the label," he said.dddddddddddd Bochy believes Mota didnt intentionally take the banned substance, and that it is important to support players when theyre dealing with difficult times such as this one. "While we dont endorse these guys that are taking PEDs, we also want to be known as an organization that cares about the person as a whole, not just the player," Bochy said. "Mota served his time and now its time for all of us to move on." Mota said that when he appealed his suspension, Major League Baseball officials believed his story of why he tested positive, but that it didnt change the ruling. "They have their rules and a rule is a rule," Mota said. "They told me that I had to read the label." Bochy believes Motas return will give the bullpen a boost. "Hes going to give us depth in the bullpen," Bochy said. "We need some help there. We need some help bridging the gap to our late-inning guys. His experience is going to help." The 39-year-old Mota was 0-1 with a 5.06 ERA in nine games this season before his suspension. He was 2-2 with a 3.81 ERA in 52 appearances last season. ' ' '
