One game. That's how long the Giants were able to field a healthy, complete roster in front of their home fans. Game 2 at AT&T Park brought a crushing bit of news Saturday night, the likelihood that ace reliever Brian Wilson will be lost for the season due to elbow damage.

He made sure the Giants retained one of the deepest bullpens in baseball, and that could prove to be crucial as manager Bruce Bochy tries to offset a massive setback.
