8:19 pm
derek holland. he's faced four in this world series and walked all four. that will bring in renteria. edgar's 3-3. and his hit with one out in the seventh inning turned into a run when he was stealing, turned into an rbi double for torres. there is a strike to renteria. >> joe: holland is ready with another. and the 0-1. strike two.

>> joe: no balls, two strikes. the rangers will have the top of the line-up in the bottom of the ninth inning. plenty of drama left tonight. strike three. inside corner. one away. after the walk, holland comes right back. >> tim: a good pitch from derek holland. >> joe: derek not a big guy, but he has got a live arm. throws hard. one on, one out. here is schierholtz.
8:21 pm
>> joe: 24-year-old left-hander. misses with ball one. holland got into 14 games, made ten starts this year for the big league club in texas. was 6-2 at oklahoma city. that's on the outside corner. you can see that big stuff, 94 for strike one. now brian wilson back up. as he was in the bottom of the eighth. bounce hit for strike two. brian wilson, the closer for the giants. we haven't had a chance much in this world series to talk about. he is a really intelligent guy. he can be silly from time to time. he's funny to talk to.
8:22 pm
he has a great sense of humor. but when he is down there getting ready to come in to these ballgames, that's business time. here is a fly ball into center. schierholtz off-balance. that's out number two. all that fun, joking around, the quirkiness and all that is gone. >> it's how the guys in uniform cope with the pressures of the game. guys do it differently. bumgarner does it very passively. very quietly. wilson finds another way to do it. everybody is different. >> joe: this night for madison bumgarner couldn't have gone any better. it could be an historic night for the left-hander if he goes back out there. this ball inside to torres, he's had another big night. 3-4. >> tim: we talked in

8:24 pm
>> joe: runner at first. lead-off walk. the next two retired by holland. now a foul out of play to the right. two balls, two strikes. >> joe: any dugout that would leave a pitcher rolling like bumgarner alone when he is sitting on the bench. >> it's almost a no-hitter approach. or a perfect game approach. >> joe: leave him alone. he has thrown eight shut-out innings. holland brings it and fouled again. 95 from derek holland.

that's outside. his dad was diagnosed with cancer when brian was 12. his dad mike who spent 22 years in the air force told him -- that's on the inside corner. brian said all i knew about cancer was what i saw on tv and those shows never ended well. he lost his dad at the age of 17. he became mad, mad at the world and he uses the anger when he pitches. you don't see it any he's out there trying to end the game. two out. bases are empty with hamilton coming up.
8:31 pm
>> joe: hamilton steps in. tim said earlier, the rangers have been shut out only once here at home all season. the giants, if it ends 4-nothing, will have shut out the rangers twice in this series. 9-nothing in game two. tonight 4-nothing, as we play in the ninth. two out, nobody on to. hamilton. late swing and a foul. the count 0-2. one of the best pitching performances we've seen in a world series in a long time, certainly from a rookie. madison bumgarner in line for the win. and he's got it! wilson with a strike-out of hamilton. 4-noisco and
8:32 pm
they're up three games to one in this 2010 world series. >> tim: we talked about lincecum. we talked about cain. we talked about sanchez. the number four starter for the san francisco giants won't be number four for long. >> joe: he is the fourth youngest pitcher to win a world series game all-time. for as good as matt cain was in game two, the 9-nothing win. bumgarner was even better here tonight. what a night for the 21-year-old left-hander. aubrey huff with a two-run shot to the third. that would be all the giants would need all night. they win it 4-nothing.
8:33 pm
bruce bochy has his san francisco giants one win away from the world championship. and our ram power player of the game, who else? madison bumgarner. struck out six. allowed only three hits. to the top team in the majors this season. there is the final score. down to the field we go. ken rosenthal. >> ken: thank you, joe. madison, eight shut-out innings tonight, three hits allowed. the rangers have been terrific against left-handed pitching this season. beat sanchez last night. how did you shut them down? >> player: i just went out there and tried to make good pitches. worked out most of the time. got a lot of ground balls today. we were fortunate to get out with a win. >> ken: you made history tonight. the fourth youngest starting pitcher to start and win a world series game. how nervous were you if at all coming into this? >> player: i told myself all
8:34 pm
the time to relax and take a deep breath. control the breathing. it helps me to relax and stay calm and don't act like it's not a big deal. obviously, it is, it's the world series. but try to go out there and erelax. it's worked out. >> ken: how badly did you want to finish? >> player: i'd love to. we have the best closer in the game out there, so we're going to get him in there. >> ken: thank you. aubrey huff, that kid is 21 years old. how does he do it? >> player: we have impressive talent here. buster posey behind the dish and this kid on the mound. he's fearless. it doesn't seem like he is ever nervous. he went out on the field and doesn't act like he has much of a personality, but he does in a clubhouse. >> ken: you're from here and grew uprooting for the rangers. how much more meaningful for was it to hit that home run in this park? >> player: total emotion there. it was only the third inning. in this park, anything canp happen.
8:35 pm
with the way he was pitching tonight, it looked like that was going to be it. >> ken: aubrey, the giants are one win away from the world series title. how will you sleep tonight? >> player: with a win i sleep well. loss is shaky. hopefully i sleep good tonight. tomorrow, cliff lee. he will come out with his good stuff. he'll come out and get us. we'll have to get sleep and try to do it tomorrow. >> ken: thank you. back to you. >> joe: aubrey huff, who has toiled in the big leagues for ten seasons prior to this year. had played just under 1,500 career games in the big leagues without getting to the post season. one big swing here tonight. great defense tonight. sanchez, part of it. the main piece, the left-hander madis bumgarner is the winner. 4-nothing giants in game four. studio coming up after the break. here in arlington.
8:38 pm
>> chris: 21-year-old madison bumgarner became only the second n.l. rookie to pitch eight plus scoreless innings in a world series game. binge adams of the 1909 pirates was the other. giants lead the world series three games to one. i'm chris rose rejoined by white sox skipper ozzie guillen and eric karros. i don't know what you were doing at 21 but i wasn't pitching this well in game four of the world series. he shocked the world. >> eric: he did. i can sit here and bore you with all kind of numbers, three singles, only one base
8:39 pm
runner at second base. but what he did tonight he kept them off-balance. he pitched a lot like cliff lee pitches in that when he was throwing strikes to both sides of the plate. anytime you face a guy like vladimir guerrero, a future hall-of-famer and have him take two swings and look like he was swinging under water, you know you've got good stuff. >> chris: ozzie, this isn't the first time you've seen bumgarner throw, right? >> ozzie: in 2008 i went to see my kid olney play and he was amazing. i don't see much difference. triple-a is not the same as the world series but this is unbelievable stuff. the defense behind him was great. they were all over the place and the left field played well early in the game. right behind him, the great defense. this kid from 2008 to 2010 is a big jump. i don't see much difference between the two years. >> chris: that's what the giants do. they throw shut-out and play great defense and hit home
8:40 pm
runs. something else caught your eye, eric karros. >> eric: aubrey huff did the heavy lifting but the dirty work in the top two in the line-up. andres torres and freddy sanchez. 31 pitches in two at-bats. four at-bats, i should say. that's what tommy hunter had. and before aubrey huff hit the home run, tommy hunter threw to the guys and they fouled off ten pitches between them. hunter was exhausted and huff gets him. credit to the top two in the line-up. >> chris: you can tell the rangers fans are a little deflated but they still have one more chance, on the left shoulder of cliff lee. rematch of the guys that went at it in game one. lincecum won the decision. cliff lee didn't make it out of the fifth. now, ozzie, you have been in this situation. in 2005 you were up three games to nothing. down in houston. a chance to close it out. how tough is it to win that final game? >> ozzie: wow! a dream come true. that night, i couldn't sleep.
8:41 pm
i was talking to my family all night long how we'd approach the game. a big game for us. it was the biggest game, number four, the biggest one you will get. believe me, you will win four, you get the ring and what you work for all year long. tomorrow is a big day for them. >> chris: let me get this straight. you were up all night talking to whomever you wanted to talk to? >> eric: shocker, he was talking all night long! >> ozzie: talking all night, talking to my family. [ laughter ] >> chris: eric, how do you see it playing out tomorrow? cliff lee threw a clunker in game one. >> eric: i don't see him throwing two bad games in a series. this ranger ball club is the same position the phillies were in. they have to beat lincecum, cain and sanchez. i don't like the prospects. >> chris: now the rangers are down 3-1 in the best of seven world series, trying to duplicate what the 1985 kansas city royals did, be the last time to come back from a 3-1 series deficit. we'll be back tomorrow night.
8:42 pm

8:48 pm
texas. what's the feel there, ken? >> reporter: it's a very different feel than it was last night. some rangers fans were leaving the game, and giants -- giants fans are obviously very happy about what happened tonight in game 4. we talked to mark christian earlier in the game. you knew this was going to happen, right? >> it's done tomorrow night. we're bringing it back to the bay. time for a parade, san francisco! we got it! >> reporter: now, mark is from modesto, and you said you didn't want to see a victory back in the bay area, is you want to do it right here. >> no, let's go. we've got it deep in the heart of texas, baby! >> reporter: let's talk to some more giants fans. what is your name? >> xavier valdez. >> reporter: tell me what you saw tonight? >> it was amazing. amazing. especially a shutout! we shut everybody out. hamilton, where was he at?
8:49 pm
lee, he's starting tomorrow, but he's got nothing. we saw game one. it was amazing! giants in 5! >> reporter: you are saying tomorrow night. >> i'm saying tomorrow night. we've got it! we've got it! we've got it! >> reporter: let's talk tow man in the beard here. >> my name is allen lend i'm from denver, colorado, but a life long giants fan. this is great, i went to the alcs with the cubs and giants in '89, they develop, and then the earthquake hit. i'm ready to see a world champion. >> reporter: we'll here from more of these fans coming up. for now, mark, back to you. >> it is all about the sorage and black tonight, and we're not talking about halloween. the san francisco giants now one victory away from taking it. and you know what? they were just about as flawless as you you could get. ron washington and his mini me
8:50 pm
right there dressed up in a halloween costume, very festive night early, but then defense dictates the early innings. sanchez on his game, starts the double-play, and that is it. giants threatened against tommy hunter in the second. two on, two out, and the rangers pumped after josh hamilton makes a beautiful back hand k catch to keep this game scoreless, but the giants defense strikes again. sanchez snow coned jeff francoeur's liner to end the second, and still a tense, scoreless game. as you see it again, he gets up, and the ball just in the webbing of his glove. but then the giants do get to the scoreboard in the first. torres leading off with a shot to the right. it will go for a double. it actually hit the bag. and then after freddy sanchez
8:51 pm
ground out, aubrey huff took it to right, a no doubt about it shot that leaves the yard. i guess the only question was as to whether it would stay fair or not, and it certainly did, as you take another grand look at it. gone from the moment it touched the bat. and there is freddy sanchez's reaction from the dugout. yeah! and the giants have a 2-0 lead. as it turned out, that would be plenty, the way madison bumgarner was throwing tonight, and he is on the podium now live in texas. let's get back down to the lone star state. >> obviously i started off rough this year, and wasn't -- i mean, this was -- didn't expect this in my wildest dreams, but i'm definitely glad to be here and blessed to have this opportunity. >> over here to the right. scott? >> madison, how did aubrey huff's two-run home they are if the third inning change things for you? did it immediately allow you to relax a little bit? >> i try not to. i try just to -- i try not to
8:52 pm
pay attention at all to the score. i think that help this pitcher, keep the pressure on and keep making pitches. but it definitely helped the team out, and momentum shifter there. got it going our way, so it was a big hit. >> so the back right if >> the first batter got on and stole second. nobody out with the runner on second. were there any nerves at that time, and was there next batter key for you to settle down? >> yeah. i mean, the first -- i don't know what the first batter threw -- i mean, i fit relaxed out there, just happened to throw four balls. i don't know. i felt fine. >> and then in the left, tracy? madison was piecey being here a help for you at all? >> yeah, ever since we hit it off in instructional like, we've been good friends, andal ways in the same page out there in games, and i trust him a hundred did percent. whatever he puts down, i
8:53 pm
constituent to throw, and besides that, he's a great catcher. >> madison, did you ever further figure out what happened to your velocity back in march and april, and how you were able to bring it back to seemingly the level it was at a couple of years ago now? >> i guess it was just mechanics a little bit off. we made adjustments throughout the year, and about halfway through the year, got back to where i felt i needed to be. just a little timing issue for me. >> and over to the right? >> madison, did you make taken attempt to persuade your manager to to leave you back in for the 9th. >> no, i let them make the decisions. i just pitch until they tell me i'm done. >> you guys obviously one win away from the championship. how exciting is it to think that, you know, this is the kind of thing you guys could do for a while now with all of the young guys in the rotation? >> ill think so. it's what you want to -- i think so. it's what you it wasn't to do to every year. and we have the guys to do it. great clubhouse. it's a lot of fun to be on this
8:54 pm
team. >> how are you able to stay so cool in this whole situation? you seem totally unphased by this? >> i don't know. just keep telling myself to relax, and i've told myself so much that it's starting to become second nature, and it makes it a lot easier on me and the players, i think, is to see somebody who is relaxed out there throwing. so that's it, i guess. >> a couple of more more madison. over here. >> you made it look easy tonight, but what did you consider your toughest batter to face. >> whoever was up at the time, i guess. i mean, it's a great-hitting team. they're unbelievable. don't want to take anything away from them. they have a lot of great hitters on this time. i just feel like we were able to make defenses, and our defense behind me was incredible tonight, and i don't think if it wasn't for them the result it would have been different. >> you talk about trying to take it like it's another game and not worrying about the
8:55 pm
