At Atlanta:
Madison Bumgarner pitched six strong innings, while Cody Ross belted a home run in the sixth inning and drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh as the San Francisco Giants defeated the Atlanta Braves in come-from-behind fashion again on Monday by the scored of 3-2 to win their National League divisional playoff series, advancing to the league championship round for the first time in eight years. The Giants will take on the Philadelphia Phillies in Philadelphia for the opening game this coming Saturday. The loss drew to a climax Bobby Cox's 25-year managerial stint with the Braves, where he won five National League pennants and one World Series crown. He retires as the fourth winningest manager in Major League history with 2,504 in 29 years.
