Why wait until the final day of the season? It couldn’t have been sweeter — a 3-0 victory over the Padres and the Giants bring the National League Western Division Championship back to the banks of Mission Creek. Jonathan Sanchez pitches as sharp as he dresses, and on top of that delivers a huge hit to get things going.

Great game — if you’re a Giants’ fan. Game story tommorrow morning.
