San Francisco Giants: 1938 National League Champions (6th pennant)
1916 1917 1934 1935 1936 1938
🎙️ Mike and the Mad Dog — GIANTS ARE GOING BACK TO THE WORLD SERIES!
San Francisco Giants 12
Miami Marlins 8
📍 Oracle Park
Giants win NLCS 4–3
🎙️ Mike Francesa
Alright. Let’s start here.
They had it.
They almost blew it.
But they finished it.
The Giants are going back to the World Series for the SIXTH time. Fourth pennant in six years. That’s not a fluke — that’s a run.
And tonight? Twelve runs, fifteen hits, and just enough pitching to survive.
The third inning won them the pennant. That’s it. End of story.
Up 2–1? No problem.
Campbell triples.
Perdomo hits a two-run bomb.
Valenzuela doubles.
Snapp doubles.
Price hits a two-run homer.
Five runs. Huge lead.
You give this lineup oxygen, it suffocates you.
🎙️ Mad Dog Russo (ECSTATIC)
MIKE — THEY’RE BACK! THEY’RE BACK!
I DON’T WANNA HEAR ANY MORE ABOUT 3–1 LEADS OR GAME SIX DISASTERS!
THIS TEAM CAN HIT WITH ANYBODY!
PERDOMO?! TWO HOMERS! FOUR RBIs! Eight total bases! The guy hit .419 in the series!
VALENZUELA?! FOUR HITS! ELEVEN TOTAL BASES! TWO HOME RUNS! He hit TEN homers this postseason already!
And STEVE TAYLOR — three doubles! Ties the playoff record! MVP of the series! The guy’s hitting .441 in the LCS!
THIS IS A MACHINE!
🎙️ Mike
Now hold on — it wasn’t perfect.
They’re up 12–2 going into the eighth and suddenly Miami scores four. Ninth inning, Davila hits a two-run rocket. Holte’s still lining balls all over the yard.
It got uncomfortable.
But Bachus gave them 7.2 innings. Only two earned runs. That’s guts in a Game 7.
And when it got tight, they pieced it together — DuPont, Green, Martinez. Not pretty. But effective.
🎙️ Mad Dog
And give Miami credit! They didn’t roll over!
Holte with seven total bases!
Sigaran two doubles!
Adams hits one 432 feet in the third!
Davila nearly sends it into McCovey Cove in the ninth!
But they dug the hole too deep!
You can’t give up SIX runs in the first three innings in this ballpark and expect to survive!
🎙️ Mike
Here’s the big picture.
The Giants survived a seven-game war. This wasn’t easy. It wasn’t clean. But it was earned.
Now?
It’s the rematch.
1934 all over again.
The Anaheim Angels — undefeated this postseason — waiting.
Nine and zero.
The Giants have been here before. They’ve won in ’35 and ’36. They’ve lived in October.
But Anaheim? They swept Tampa. They haven’t even been tested.
🎙️ Mad Dog
MIKE, YOU COULDN’T SCRIPT THIS!
THE POWERHOUSE DYNASTY
VERSUS
THE UNDEFEATED MACHINE!
And let me tell ya something —
If the Giants hit like they did tonight?
If Valenzuela and Perdomo keep launching balls into the night?
We are gonna get a World Series with fireworks every single inning!
🎙️ Mike (closing)
Game 7 tension. Twelve runs. A pennant clinched at home.
San Francisco’s going back to the Fall Classic.
Anaheim’s waiting.
And October just got even better.
