The first and third innings saw the Giants go down in order, and now the fourth inning starts like the second. Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence both reach, Sandoval on an infield single rather than a HBP. We’ll see if the Giants end up as successful.

Update: Brandon Belt flies out to deep left, and Sandoval tags and reaches third. That’s the third time today a runner tagged and reached third.

Jeremy Guthrie is done. The Giants have runners on first and third with one out in a 2-2 tie with the Royals.

Update: Ned Yost wastes no time in a high leverage situation. Kelvin Herrera comes in the game to face Michael Morse.

Update: Morse fights off an inside pitch and dumps a single into shallow rightfield. Sandoval scores from third and the Giants lead the Royals 3-2, and the Giants still have runners at first and third with one out.

Update: Brandon Crawford strikes out looking. Two down.

Update: Juan Perez grounds out to end the inning. The Giants get one run, instead of two like in the second, but take the lead over the Royals 3-2.
