The Giants beat the Padres on Saturday night to clinch the National League West title.

San Francisco endured a season-ending injury to Brian Wilson, the 50-game suspension of Melky Cabrera and lengthy injuries to Pablo Sandoval and Freddy Sanchez.

It is the second division title for the team in three years.

"It's the first step," Sandoval said. "We're excited to get it done early. We've got it now. We're going to focus on finishing the season the right way."
