The San Francisco Giants won game #7 in Oakland to advance to the Millenium Semi-Finals. Here is a recap of the series:

Game 2 - Giants 11, A's 2: David Freese (3 doubles) had four hits and Andre Ethier (triple and a homer) knocked in 4 runs. Max Scherzer went the distance by fanning 10; loser Carrasco failed to get out of the first inning as he gave up 5 runs.
Game 3 - A's 5, Giants 1: Jose Quintana pitched a strong 8 1/3 innings as Colby Lewis takes the loss. A's top three batters in the lineup (Enciarte, Kendry Morales and Kyle Seager) combined for 6 hits, 2 runs and 3 ribbies.
