"Closer Brian Wilson came off the disabled list Sunday, just short of five weeks after he hurt his elbow, and struck out his first two batters in a 1-2-3 eighth inning. Justin Christian dived into the seats to catch Eric Young Jr.'s foul ball.

Before the game, Wilson talked to print reporters for the first time since the injury and scoffed at the widely held notion that he should have stopped throwing to ensure his arm is healthy next year.

"I'm not worried about 2012, and the Giants shouldn't be worried about 2012 either," Wilson said. "That's why I'm activated today. We're not eliminated. I don't care what percentages you talk about. There's still baseball left. There's always a chance, especially when you get to play (Arizona) again.""
