Let the pitching duels begin. In game 1 Bumgarner took over and the Giants smashed the Royals on their on turf. In Game 2 the Royals had different plans, it was Yordano Venturas turn. Ventura had a decent game in the five innings that he pitched. Even though he surrender eight hits and two runs to the Giants he didn't give up any walks. The Giants made it a game with the Royals in the fourth with doubles from Pablo Sandoval and Brandon Belt but not enough to hold off the Royals sluggers. In the sixth inning the Royals bats came alive and especially Omar Infantes bat. Billy Butler singled off of Jean Machi scoring Lorenzo Cain. The Royals received some extra help in the scoring department from the Giants pitcher with an errant pitch putting two runners in scoring position for Salvador Perez to do some magic. Perez doubled both of the on base runners home and Infante followed up with a home run. Infante went two for three with a home run and double to help lift the Royals over the Giants.
We have ourselves a series ladies and gentleman. Peavy and the rest of the Giants bullpen couldn't keep the Royals down like they did in game 1. The Giants bats took the night off as well. That's why you have to love sports and the MLB playoff system, because there's always a chance to make up for any mistakes from the last game. The Royals knew they needed to play better in order to take game two and they played very well to even the series up before heading to San Fran. I will be tuned in for game 3 to see how the Royals come out against the Giants on their home turf. The Royals have played great post season baseball on their field and on the opposing teams field game 3 should be exciting and rowdy.
