Giants win wild-card game on Gillaspie’s home run



NEW YORK — The Giants got Conor Gillaspie last winter for nothing. Absolutely nothing. On Wednesday night, he gave them everything.

Gillaspie, a fill-in third baseman, hit a three-run homer off Mets closer Jeurys Familia with one out in the ninth inning to break a scoreless tie and give the Giants a 3-0 victory that kept their season alive.

Their triumph behind a typically dominating Madison Bumgarner in the National League wild-card game sent the Giants onward in their quest for a fourth straight even-year championship, to a date with the Chicago Cubs in a Division Series that begins Friday night.

Bumgarner did not need to burnish his reputation as one of history’s greatest postseason pitchers, but he did, throwing a four-hitter.

As he did in the 2014 wild-card game in Pittsburgh, Bumgarner pitched a shutout, outlasting and outdueling fire-throwing Noah Syndergaard.

Love to see good 'ol Giants post season 'torture.' Sorry Mets, SF Giants coming through!

I've been away from the bay for a long time. But I've listened to Giants games on KNBR all the way out in Lincoln County New Mexico and down as far as Yuma Arizona. What a feeling! This a another special year for the G's. The last series with the Dodgers, sweep! With special Vin Scully sauce.

On to Chicago!
