Rookie Jarrett Parker became the first Giants player to have at least three homers and seven RBIs in a game since Willie Mays did it 54 years ago, overshadowing the disappointing starts in the feel-good matchup of Tim Hudson and Barry Zito as San Francisco beat the Oakland Athletics 14-10 on Saturday. Hardly at their old best of yesteryear when they dominated as part of Oakland's ''Big Three,'' Hudson and Zito shared their brief moment to say goodbye to the Bay Area baseball fans in what began as a nostalgic, throwback moment and ended with Parker's power surge. Short it was for the starters, with Oakland's Zito throwing two innings and outlasting Hudson's 1 1-3 for the Giants, 11 years after they last pitched together here in 2004.
