MLB Playoffs: Giants Overtake Braves Again To Win Series

At Atlanta:

The San Francisco Giants scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning to defeat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 on Monday night to win their National League divisional playoff series three games to one.  Rookie Madison Bumgarner pitched six strong innings and Cody Ross hit a home run in the sixth inning and drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out single in the seventh as the Giants advanced to the National League championship series for the first time since 2002.  They'll face off against the Philadelphia Phillies in the series which is slated to start this coming Saturday in Philadelphia.  The loss marks the end of Bobby Cox's 25-year managerial career with the Braves, where he won five pennants and one World Series title.
