MINNEAPOLIS -- Odell Beckham Jr. and the potent New York Giants passing attack never found a rhythm on another frustrating night for the volatile wide receiver.The Minnesota Vikings have been making a habit of sending the opponent home unhappy.Mystifying Eli Manning yet again, holding Beckham to a career-low 23 yards on three catches and turning two turnovers into 10 points, the Vikings stayed unbeaten with a 24-10 victory Monday over the Giants.We feel like weve got one of the best units in the game, cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said. Weve just got to keep working. Our coaches do a great job of putting in a great game plan, and we just go out there and cover the guys up. Everybody on this defense wants to be great.The Vikings (4-0) didnt record a sack after getting 13 over the past two games, but they were so tight in coverage and sound against the run that the Giants only converted 2 of 12 third downs. Second in the NFL with 12.5 points allowed per contest, the Vikings have conquered quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton and Manning in consecutive games -- the last two league MVP award winners and a two-time Super Bowl champion. Theyre 6-2 against Manning in his career.Coach Mike Zimmer was concerned about Beckham, Victor Cruz and Sterling Shepard, as dangerous a trio of pass-catchers as there is in the NFL, so the Vikings didnt blitz the Giants (2-2) nearly as much as they did Rodgers Packers or Newtons Panthers.It just shows our versatility, linebacker Anthony Barr said.Sam Bradford threw a touchdown pass to tight end Kyle Rudolph for the third straight game and kept his turnover-free streak since joining the Vikings intact, and Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon each ran for a touchdown as part of a season-high 104 yards rushing for the team. Bradford was 26 of 36 for 262 yards passing, thriving with quick-release throws behind an offensive line that protected better than it had in any of the previous three games.Starting 4-0 for the first time since 2009, the Vikings joined Philadelphia and Denver as the leagues only remaining undefeated teams.Weve still got a long way to go. Were not handing out any medals tonight, Zimmer said. The attitude of this team, they like to work. Its good, and they actually tell me Im getting soft sometimes.Really?Yeah, they do, Zimmer said. They tell me all the time, `What are you doing? How come were not in pads today?Here are the top takeaways from the game:RHODES CLOSED: Beckham, who has yet to score this season during the longest touchdown-less streak of his three-year career, was smothered by cornerback Xavier Rhodes . Beckham wasnt nearly as agitated as he was the week before in his much-scrutinized matchup with Washington cornerback Josh Norman, but he picked up an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after he and Rhodes bumped and jawed at each other out of bounds following a short catch in the second quarter.Ive just got to know its all against me. Its going to be that way. I have to assume that Im always in the wrong no matter what, Beckham said. Thats something, its a tough pill to swallow, but you have to understand it. You have to be able to cope with it and just keep it moving.Manning expressed more concern about his star receivers behavior than he had before.Hes got to be aware, Manning said. Theyre looking for him, and hes got to play smart. We cant afford to do anything.KICKING CONUNDRUM: Blair Walsh missed his third field goal try in four games this season for the Vikings, this one a 46-yarder that never really had a chance. He has also missed two extra points this year, and Zimmer has sounded more and more like hes losing patience with his kicker.We need to make those or its going to bite us in the rear end, the coach said. Our team is playing close games. Thats how were built.Walsh did rebound to hit a 44-yarder not long after his miss, following an interception by Rhodes.QUICK PASSES: The Vikings led the NFL with 15 sacks in the first three games, and the Giants clearly preferred a quick-pass attack to neutralize the rush. Manning wasnt sacked, mostly preferring to dump the ball off on short routes to receivers on slants and backs in the flats. This is what the Vikings must expect now.You look around the league, and theres franchise quarterbacks out there, man, Munnerlyn said. You dont want to get those guys hurt. Theyre the money men. So you try to protect them and get rid of the ball real fast, and we just got to cover them up.STRUGGLING SECONDARY: The Giants secondary is depleted by injuries. Trevin Wade had trouble all game starting at cornerback for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Wade was beaten by Charles Johnson for receptions of 30 and 40 yards, had a pass interference penalty on Rudolph and got away with one on an early incompletion to Adam Thielen.RECIPE FOR TROUBLE: The Giants have a minus-8 turnover margin at the quarter mark of the season. After being penalized 11 times for 128 yards in a loss to Washington last week, they were flagged eight times for 69 yards in this game.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Dave Campbell on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/DaveCampbellAP Mike Nugent Jersey . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings.

PETERSBURG, Fla.CHICAGO -- The Washington Nationals acquired outfielder Scott Hairston on Monday from the Chicago Cubs for minor league pitcher Ivan Pineyro. Chicago general manager Jed Hoyer said on a conference call there are "players to be named (later) on either side," but they "will not affect the balance of the deal." The Cubs signed Hairston to a two-year deal in the off-season to platoon in right field, but he struggled, batting .172 with eight home runs and 19 RBIs. One of those homers came during Sundays 4-3, 11-inning win over Pittsburgh. He had 20 last season with the New York Mets. Now, hes headed to Washington, the latest move in a busy stretch for Chicago. The Cubs have also traded pitchers Scott Feldman and Carlos Marmol along with catcher Steve Clevenger in the past week, and starter Matt Garza could be on the way out. "Needless to say, hes been a popular name and a guy weve gotten a lot of phone calls on," Hoyer said. &quuot;I think hes opened a lot of eyes the way hes thrown the last four, five times out.dddddddddddd" The Cubs are also still waiting on third baseman Kris Bryant, the No. 2 pick in the draft, to sign. Hoyer remains confident theyll reach an agreement before the July 12 deadline. "Were going to make him an exceptionally fair offer," Hoyer said. "If Kris wants to be a Cub and be a professional baseball player, Im confident that well get a deal done. Sometimes, it takes a deadline to make a deal. We have a deadline coming up shortly. In a lot of ways, I think thats a plus at this point." As for Pineyro, the 21-year-old right-hander has combined to go 6-3 with a 3.24 ERA in 15 starts between Class A Hagerstown and Potomac. "I think this is a good opportunity for Scott and the Nationals to get more playing time, and I think it was a good opportunity for us to acquire a young pitcher that we liked," Hoyer said. ' ' '
