    Bearded closer Brian Wilson jogged to the mound as the sellout crowd roared. He then struck out the side for his first save, and just like that things seemed back to normal for the San Francisco Giants.

    Aaron Rowand tripled leading off the seventh and scored the go-ahead run moments later on a wild pitch, and the Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-4 on Tuesday night when Wilson sealed the deal without any extra drama.

    "That's the Wilson everybody wants to see," ace Tim Lincecum said.
