The article reports on the challenges experienced by the San Francisco Giants baseball team before they achieved victory at the National League Division Series (NLDS) in Detroit, Michigan in October 2012. It says that the team defeated the Detroit Tigers with a 2-0 victory at the NDLS.

The people of Detroit would like nothing better to celebrate a playoff baseball team, but the Tigers did let that happen on Thursday. The Minnesota Twins stayed alive, beating the Tigers, 8-3, and now the endgame is here: the Twins, two games behind the Tigers, will host Kansas City for the final three games of the season, while the Chicago White Sox are in Detroit. If the people of Detroit want to know what joy is, they only have to look at Colorado. The Rockies, who were 15 1/2 games back in the National League West and 9 1/2 back in the wild-card race on June 3, clinched a wild-card berth on Thursday, and they're not done. They begin a three-game series with the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Friday with the chance to win the West. Mark Kriegel of FoxSports explores what it all means for the playoffs. ''Probably nothing,'' he writes. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
