With one out in the sixth, the Royals put two hits together to score their second run. Alcides Escobar hits a line drive single up the middle, and Alex Gordon follows with a double to deep center. Escobar easily scores from first, and the Royals lead 2-0 as they try to regain home field advantage in the series.

Hudson’t pitch count is in the mid 70s.

Update: Tim Hudson gets a grounder for the second out, but Bruce Bochy comes out to remove Tim from the game with a man on second and two out. Hudson walked one, struck out two, and allowed four hits. Two of them were doubles, and they both hurt.

Update: Javier Lopez comes in, and Eric Hosmer has an 11 pitch at bat that seemed to last as long as the first five innings. He finally gets a hold of a pitch and lines it to center for an RBI single, and the Royals lead 3-0. For the second game in a row, the Giants bullpen does not get the job done.

Update: Mike Moustakas strikes out to end the inning, but it looks like the Royals bullpen will be passed a decent lead to defend.
