Greg Holland holds the Giants scoreless in the top of the ninth, setting up the bottom of the inning between Madison Bumgarner and the power (if you will) of the Royals lineup. Madison will face Eric Hosmer, Billy Butler, and Alex Gordon with the Giants leading the Royals 3-2. Bumgarner threw 52 pitches in his first four innings of work.

Update: Hosmer gets ahead 2-0. Bumgarner comes back to even the count. Hosmer then swings and misses at a high fastball. One down.

Update: Billy Butler pops up a 1-1 pitch, caught in foul territory by Brandon Belt. Two down.

Update: Alex Gordon hits a line drive to center field that is extremely misplayed. It gets by Gregor Blanco in centerfield and rolls to the wall Juan Perez slips trying to pick it up. I thought Gordon might score, but he gets to third on the single and error. It’s up to Salvador Perez.

Update: Perez falls behing 1-2, swinging at a high fast ball. The Royals keep getting fooled by that pitch.

Update: Perez pops up a 2-2 pitch, Pablo Sandoval catches it in foul territory, and the Giants win the game 3-2 and the World Series 4 games to 3!
