Travis Ishikawa hit a game-winning, three-run homer off Michael Wacha in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-3, in San Francisco on Thursday night to win Game 5 of the National League Championship Series and advance to the World Series for the third time in five years.

Eric Hosmer's first-inning ground ball produced two runs, and the Royals completed a four-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles with a 2-1 victory in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series in Kansas City on Wednesday afternoon.

The San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals will meet in the National League Championship Series for the second time in three years beginning on Saturday. Here's a recap of Tuesday's action:

With the Yankees fading from playoff contention, Derek Jeter's playing days are quickly winding down, which makes this commercial all the more touching.

Derek Jeter's final at bat at Yankee Stadium was a storybook finish that probably shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

Earlier this week I created a blog of my most memorable Derek Jeter moments. Considering the Yankees were knocked out of playoff contention this week as well, I never thought I would have had to add another unforgettable Jeter moment to this list.

Not only did Chris Young break up a no-hitter in the eighth inning and go on to score the Yankees first run of the evening, he scored the last run, belting a three-run walk-off home run to propel the Yankees to a come from behind 5-4 win over the Rays on Thursday night...

Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton was hit directly in the face with a fastball by the Brewers' Mike Fiers during Thursday night's game in Milwaukee. Strangely, he was one of two players to be hit in the head area with pitches on the same night.

The Chicago Cubs are so bad their fans make better plays than the players.

Fans of the Houston Astros haven't had much to cheer about the last few years, but one fan had plenty to cheer about on Tuesday night.
