Giants aim to grind out Game 4 vs. slugging Cardinals

Billed as a clash of mirror images, finesse teams that win with pitching, execution, intelligence and heart, the National League Championship Series quickly turned into something else altogether. It is the classic slugger vs. boxer, with the Cards in the role of Joe Frazier and the Giants bobbing, weaving and dancing like Muhammad Ali. Round 4 — make that Game 4 — brings these two heavyweight champs back together at AT&T Park on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
