The Giants’ 3-0 win over the Mets was their latest triumph in October. The dynasty lives to see another day, starting with the Cubs in the NLDS on Friday.
Here’s what Twitter was saying in the moments after the victory.
Madison Bumgarner has now thrown 23 innings in postseason winner-take-all games. And allowed zero runs. Yeah, that would be a record.

Giants win. Madison Bumgarner has an 0.50 ERA in seven career postseason road starts. He is a boss.

Bochy left Bum in the game. That is all. #SFGiants

Peavy said Bum was calm in a crazy dugout after Gillaspie HR. Bum simply walked up and said, "Conor, I appreciate the hell out of that."

The Giants are the rare team that CAN just flip the switch. If I’m the Cubs, I’m trippin’

Connor Gillaspie breaking a ninth inning scoreless tie with a three run bomb is peak #EvenYearBullshit. Sorry Mets fans you were warned.

So who else besides Madison Bumgarner has thrown 2 shutouts in winner-take-all postseason games? Nobody. Of course. And both on the road

Madison Bumgarner just snared a line drive, pumped his fist, screamed, and chucked the ball into the stands. He is something.
