As per custom with the San Francisco Giants, when the even year rolls around the club finds a way to make a postseason trip. And it’s usually done the only way the Giants know – torture – Giants’ Baseball at its finest. After a strong start to the season, the Giants found themselves sitting on top of the NL West before the All-Star break. Fortunes took a turn for the worse in the second half as the rival Los Angeles Dodgers took over the division. Despite the struggles, San Francisco buckled down with a three-game sweep of their rivals during the final weekend of the season to secure a wild card spot.
