Score and situation: The NLCS matchup that seemed destined to go seven games will do just that after the San Francisco Giants locked up a 6-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night. Leading lads: Ryan Vogelsong set the tone for the game by striking out the side in the first inning. He would settle in for another six strong innings, allowing only one run on four hits, while setting a new career high — regular and postseason — with nine strikeouts. In all honesty, it was his most complete and dominant outing in 2012, and it obviously could not have come at a better time for San Francisco.
