Giants or A’s: Who Will Advance to the Next Round?

Both Bay Area Major League Baseball teams are advancing to the final Game 5 in the series.

After falling behind 2-0, both teams could hear their fans’ collective sighs of disappointment. But after clutch performances from the Oakland A’s and the San Francisco Giants, both teams have found themselves tied 2-2, poised to advance to the next series if they win their respective Game 5’s.

The Giants decisively won Wednesday night 8-3 against the Cincinnati Reds largely to eight extra-base hits and Tim Lincecum’s strong pitching performance, according to MLB.com.

The Giants would become the first National League team to come back from behind 2-0 if they win on Thursday, with the game starting at 10 a.m.
