The 2014 San Francisco Giants season was the Giants' 132nd year in Major League Baseball, their 57th year in San Francisco since their move from New York following the 1957 season, and their 15th at AT&T Park. The Giants finished the season in second place in the National League West, but qualified for the playoffs and defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League Wild Card Game and the Washington Nationals in the National League Division Series. They defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series in five games and beat the Kansas City Royals in seven games in the 2014 World Series, their third World Series win in five years.

The Giants tabbed 18-game winner Madison Bumgarner to start the Wild Card elimination game, while the Pittsburgh Pirates starter was Edinson Vólquez. A scoreless tie was broken in the fourth inning in style, when Brandon Crawford launched a grand slam to right field. Crawford became the first shortstop to hit a grand slam in Major League Baseball postseason history. Brandon Belt hit singles in back-to-back at-bats in the 6th and 7th innings, driving in three more runs and Buster Posey added the 8th run for the Giants in the 8th inning. Bumgarner was masterful, as he went the distance, shutting out the Pirates on just four hits, making 109 pitches, striking out 10 and walking only 1. The win marked the Giants 7th-straight victory in postseason elimination games, tying the MLB record. The Giants moved on to face the number-one seeded Washington Nationals in the National League Division Series.
