Divisional Series Goes the Distance, San Francisco Prevails
With a narrow 4-3 series win, the San Francisco Giants have eliminated the Houston Astros and are Divisional Series winners.

San Francisco won the final game by a score of 7-4, wrapping it up at Astrodome.

McGwire's big series saw him hit .391 with a .533 on-base percentage. He had 2 home runs, drove in 5 RBI and scored 5 runs.

The San Francisco Giants will play against the Atlanta Braves in the next round. Atlanta won their series against the Colorado Rockies 4 games to 2. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Divisional Series finishes.
