Giants fans hold their sign proudly in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI-

Buster Posey hit a grand slam home run to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 6-4 National League Division Series-clinching victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

Brandon Crawford and Angel Pagan also drove in runs as the West champion Giants defeated the Reds three games to two.

The Giants became the first NL team to trail 0-2 in a division series before winning three consecutive games. Under Major League Baseball’s new playoff format, San Francisco had to win three road games to do so.

Giants pitcher Matt Cain gave up three runs in 5 2/3 innings to earn the victory. Mat Latos took the loss.

San Francisco next will play the winner of the St. Louis Cardinals-Washington Nationals series.

Mark Demsky will have a full report on the game on FOX40 News at 5:30 p.m.
