Quiet Start

The Royals get a two-out single in the top of the first, but that’s it as Ryan Vogelsong throws 11 of 13 pitches for strikes. The Giants come to bat for the first time in a scoreless game four of the World Series.

Update: The Giants get a threat established in the first as Gregor Blanco walks, then moves to second on a pitch that gets away from Salvador Perez. Joe Panik pops out, however, for the first out.

Update: With one out, Blanco steals third to try to set up a sacrifice fly or better for Buster Posey.

Update: Surprisingly, the Royals bring the infield in.

Update: After getting ahead of Posey 1-2, Jason Vargas issues his second walk of the inning. His low walk rate is his strength, so he might be in trouble early here.

Update: Hunter Pence grounds to third, but the Royals can’t turn the double play. They get the out at second, but Blanco scores for a 1-0 San Francisco lead. The score without a hit.

Update: Pablo Sandoval strikes out to end the inning. Watching the double play ball again, Pence really got down the line quickly. Instead of an RBI, he should get an RRI, Run Run In.
