Brandon Belt turns the 3-6-3 double play in the top of the sixth inning. He tried to start one earlier, but a high throw prevented the second out. A nice play by the Giants defense to erase Jarrod Dyson, who led off the inning with a single.
The Royals and Giants go to the bottom of the sixth tied at four.
Update: The first two Giants hitters single in the bottom of the sixth. Gregor Blanco failed to get a bunt down before getting two strikes, but he singles the other way to put runners on first and second.
Update: Joe Panik bunts the runners over to second and third for Buster Posey.
Update: The Royals intentionally walk Posey to face Hunter Pence, who drove in two runs in the game so far.
Update: Pence hits the ball to the drawn in shortstop, who throws home to get the lead runner. Two down.
Update: Pablo Sandoval lines the first pitch into shallow right-center for a two-run single, and the Giants lead 6-4.
Update: Brandon Belt grounds a single up the middle to drive in a run, and the Giants lead 7-4. Brandon Finnegan wasn’t quite as ready for prime time tonight as he was in his previous post season appearances.
Update: Juan Perez grounds out to end the inning. It’s only taken three hours to play six innings, but at this rate, the Giants won’t need to play the bottom of the ninth. We’ll see if the Royals have a comeback in them.
