End of Three

The Royals lead the Giants at the end of three innings of game three of the World Series. Both pitchers are using their fielders. Tim Hudson of the Giants faced 11 batters, walking one and striking out one. Jeremy Guthrie faced ten hitters and all of them put the ball in play. Both pitchers allowed just two hits, but Hudson gave off a lead-off double in the first that led to a run. Both teams saw a runner erased, one on a double play, one on a caught stealing.

Update: Hunter Pence shows some range, catching a low fly ball that was fading toward the rightfield line. We’ve seen a number of good outfield catches so far in the game, one reason the pitchers can afford to let the ball be put in play.
