ATLANTA – San Francisco won another thriller, again with help from some shaky Atlanta defense, and the Giants are off to the NL championship series for the first time since 2002.

For Bobby Cox, there are no more games.

Cody Ross homered and drove in the go-ahead run with a seventh-inning single, leading the Giants to a 3-2 victory in Game 4 Monday night and wrapping up an NL division series that was tight and tense to the very last out.

Every game was decided by one run, but the Giants won three of them to take the best-of-five series and earn a shot against two-time defending NL champion Philadelphia.
