The Reds sign Dusty Baker to a two-year contract extension, giving their 63 year-old manager another chance to take the team beyond the first round of the playoffs. Cincinnati has participated in the postseason in two of the last three years, including this season’s heartbreaking loss in the NLDS, losing the previous three contests at home in a five-game series to San Francisco.

The Reds sign Dusty Baker to a two-year contract extension, giving their 63 year-old manager another chance to take the team beyond the first round of the playoffs.

2012 – The Giants even the NLCS with a 7 – 1 victory over the Cardinals in Game 2. After being leveled by a sliding Matt Holliday trying to break up a potential double play in the 1st, 2B Marco Scutaro delivers the key blow with a two-run single in the 4th. Scutaro makes way for Ryan Theriot in the 5th, victim of a hip injury sustained on the 1st-inning play, but he has done enough to fire up the Giants. Ryan Vogelsong is the winner over Chris Carpenter.
