Madison Bumgarner pitched San Francisco to its second NL West title in three years and newcomer Marco Scutaro had three hits and three RBIs in the Giants 8-4 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night. The Giants captured their eighth divisional crown - wrapping it up once again with a victory over the Padres in front of their home fans, just as they did on the season's final day in 2010 on the way to an improbable World Series championship.Brandon Belt homered leading off the eighth to give the sellout crown of 42,418 one more thing to stand and cheer about in a season full of such moments. The real party began after Sergio Romo retired John Baker on a fly ball to center to end it. Fireworks shot off behind the main centerfield scoreboard as the players rushed to the mound and began bouncing up and down.
