SF Giants oust 96-win Nationals, head to NLCS [View all]
By Henry Schulman
The Giants were the 10th seed in this tournament, the little guys who backed their way in. Have some fun, get your participation medal, move out of the way and give the big boys room to fight.
What do you know? The Giant are going to the final four – again – after beating the Nationals 3-2 in Game 4 to win their Division Series three games to one and oust the team that entered the playoffs with a league-best 96 wins.
The Giants broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh on a bases-loaded wild pitch by reliever Aaron Barrett, which scored Joe Panik. Panik’s one-out single started the rally. Buster Posey also singled, and Hunter Pence walked to load the bases.
The Giants won their seventh consecutive postseason series advanced to their third NL Championship Series in five years. They will play the Cardinals in a rematch of their last NLCS in 2012.
