San Francisco, CA. -- The Giants can't wait for Monday.

"I hope I can sleep tonight," center fielder Angel Pagan said.

First, they allowed themselves to revel in Sunday.

That's because it put the Giants in position to complete the ascent that seemed so arduous a few days ago.

They evened the National League Championship Series at three games apiece with their 6-1 triumph in Game 6 at AT&T Park. Ryan Vogelsong struck out a career-high nine batters in seven innings and Marco Scutaro lined a two-run double in a four-run, second-inning uprising.
