here is the 1-1. bumgarner's night is finished. he goes seven. no runs allowed on two hits. walked two, struck out eight. what a turn around performance by still young left-hander, madison bumgarner. here's the 2-1 pitch. 2-2.

here's the next, and just inside. a full count. you saw that stat for bumgarner. that is on the heels, and it's two octobers later of eight shutout innings in game four of the world series in 2010. >> tim: theriot with two key hits in the games against the cardinals in the championship series. >> joe: a strikeout, and laird gets hit on the follow-through by theriot. >> tim: that's that backswing of theriot. gerald appears to be all right, but the giants strike one. >> joe: they do. they get one and the bat

knocked the mask almost off the face of gerald laird. game two. a bunt to stay fair. it set it up for crawford, who drove home the first run of the night. 1-0, san francisco. up one game to nothing, as we have played through seven. oh, oh, ooh, sorry buddy, you know some of us destroy zombies and some of us feed em. how am i suppose to win? your screen is like as big as my phone. not everything's about winning. i like to win. you like to whine. vo: buy any samsung galaxy handset, get up to $100 off a second galaxy handset of the same or lesser price. exclusively at at&t. ♪

>> joe: with us at the ballpark tonight, lucas, joined by nat faxon and ecco kelm from "ben and kate." bumgarner was great. jhonny peralta, first up. he's 0 for 2. strike 1. this is the part of the game that you talked about leading into game one last night. the late-inning options for bruce bochy out of his bullpen compared to the unknowns that jim leyland has with his closer valverde.

>> tim: i think the three left-handers make the giants bullpen a lot tougher than the detroit bullpen. >> joe: off the end of the bat, strike 2. one of the left-handers is jeremy affeldt. that's out of play, right side. it stays 0-2. this san francisco team, in front of these great fans, have been making so much noise. lost their first da games to cincinnati at home. lost game one of the nlcs here at home to st. louis. then they won game two.

they won games six and seven. they won last night and are trying to win tonight. leading by 1, top of the eighth inning. the 0-2. popped up. it's belt. one away. this year two lucky consumers won the chance to play with mlb legends through the pepsi max field of dreams program. fans voted. the game will be played in the home down of al consumer winner johnny perati from rochester, new york. he and five of his friends will host the n.l. consumer winner, steven from washington, d.c. log on to mlb.com/pepsimax for details. with one out, nobody on, the batter will be andy

dirks. batting for garcia with one out, nobody on, took a ball. dirks had a great year with the bat. hit .322. pinch-hit last night. made an out. 0 for 1 in this world series and the count 1-1. 1-1, grounds to the right side and there is scutaro! two out.

and the batter will be gerald laird, who is 0 for 2 tonight. scutaro, even though he's been held hitless tonight, already factored in on the relay to the plate to cut down prince fielder back in the second. >> tim: seems like yesterday. >> joe: he has shown great range at second base, as this giants team has gotten so much stronger up the middle the second half of the season with the addition of scutaro. crawford has played much better at short, and pagan is a very good defensive center fielder. that doesn't even count the guy that starts the action with the signs behind home plate, buster posey. that's a strike. it's 1-1.

>> tim: when that taking was made by -- when that tag was made by posey in the second inning, nobody realized that play would be paramount at this time of the game. >> joe: to short. that's crawford. that's the end of the inning. more good work from this giants bullpen and more frustration for the tigers tonight. bottom of the eighth inning rolls in. giants bat. game two, leading 1-0. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ girl ] hey!

>> joe: the world series is sponsored by nikon i. a different kind of nikon. by jennie-o turkey. and by windows 8. andy dirks, who pinch-hit, stays in the game in right. the only change is drew smyly goes back to the hill. jim leyland wants pagan to bat right-handed. first pitch in the dirt. then you have the right-handed hitting scutaro and the switch hitter sandoval. all six of pablo's home

runs this postseason have combating left-handed. 2-0. fister is on the hook for the loss. if the tigers don't rally in the ninth. high from smyly. 3-0.that's ball 4. and the the second walk handed out by smyly, who asked where that missed. it's our nikon replay, the difference in this

game. the run that scored in the seventh. base hit by pence after a walk, the bunt by blanco that stayed fair. loaded the bases off the double play bat of crawford plated the only run of the night. >> tim: i think jim leyland is leaving smyly out there because he knows scutaro is going to bunt, or he's going to take a chance on that. now he wants gerald laird to talk to smyly to give the right-hander in the bullpen a chance to get warm. >> joe: here's bruce smyly's reaction after that walk. asked him where the pitch missed. it missed evidently low. you have to believe we are going to see dotel in this inning. >> tim: but you don't

want to bring him in with sandoval, probably. you want the left-hander against sandoval. >> joe: sergio romo getting loose. and no sign of a bunt by scutaro. it shouldn't be that surprising, he is 0 for 3 tonight. because of that combo, scutaro and sandoval in front of buster posey, the way they have been swinging the bat, bruce bochy will take his chances. now he shows that he bunts from the air. back and out of play, the count 0-2. if scutaro bunts pagan down to second, we had a meeting with jim leyland before the game, he said now i'm in a position where i'm going to have to walk sandoval in certain situations and pitch to a guy that led the league in hitting. >> tim: and likely mvp.

>> joe: buster posey behind him. >> tim: the bunt is off now with two strikes. scutaro has been two hot. >> joe: smyly steps off. bochy has had a hot hand in that dugout, making decisions with his staff. that is just high. smyly, i'm sure, feels like he's getting squeezed. ball 1. the rookie left-hander is being tested here in the eighth. that's down into the corner. it is foul.

scutaro was trying to will that thing fair. i don't know that he ever dropped the bat going down the first-base line. we have pagan at first, nobody out in a 1-2 count. >> tim: just like gregor blanco billed that bunt fair. he had about 47,000 helpers here. >> joe: here's scutaro and his reaction with that ball going down the corner, but foul by about ten feet. the 1-2. got him looking. and a big strikeout for drew smyly, trying to

keep this a one-run game. one of the rare strikeouts of marco scutaro. >> joe: now with smyly still in the ballgame, sandoval, the switch-hitting third baseman, will dig higgs way in. his damn, the power has come from the other side of the plate this postseason. dotel is still down there getting ready with posey on deck. the runner goes. a stolen base for angel pagan. >> tim: how could gerald laird make a better throw? that throw was right on the money, right on the shoe laces, and pagan with too big a jump.

>> joe: that, for angel pagan, is his first steal of this postseason. he did get in there, and with that stolen base everyone in america can get a free doritos locos taco from two to six pm at any participating of those taco bell locations. there's the intentional walk to sandoval. buster posey, who led major league baseball when he hit .336 during the regular season, will come on to hit. dotel will come out of the bullpen. that's the third walk issued by smyly. jim leyland will make

the change. it will be a double switch. the pitcher's spot is due to lead off in the ninth inning. dotel will come into the ballgame out of the bullpen. and the reaction from pagan calling time after the steal. good throw by laird, but a stolen base nonetheless. a pitching change.

>> joe: lynn barry comes into the game. he takes over this left. don kelly moves from left to right. andy dirks is out of the game. the pitcher will bat in

the seventh spot. new pitcher is octavio dotel. there are his numbers this postseason. game number five for him. two on, one out. buster posey first up. ball 1 inside. here's the night for posey. a base hit through the right side his first time. trying to add to a 1-0 lead as the giants try to win the first two here at home. a 1-0 pitch. just outside. 2-0. dotel didn't agree. the 13th organization for octavio dotel, who was a part of a world championship last year in st. louis. phil coke, who is, in

essence, the closer now for the tigers, will start to get lose. here is the 2-0 pitch. infante is going back to the bag. sergio romo is getting ready to come in and try to close it. the wheels are turning here in the eighth. 3-0. hunter pence, who had a base hit his last time up and has scored the only run all night, waits on deck.

that is inside to load them up! now it falls to pence, halfway to the infielders. if the ball is not hit hard to the shortstop or the second baseman, they will come home with the hard. if it's hit hard they will try to double up pence. >> joe: one out in the inning. a double play would get the tigers out of trouble and get this a one-run game. pence has three rbis this entire postseason. here's pence. strike 1 on the outer edge of the strike zone.

0-1. konerko with the last grand slam in the world series game two, 2005, in that sweep over houston. pagan, sandoval, posey the runner. the 0-1. same spot. strike 2. >> tim: two picture-perfect fastballs in a row by dotel. right there. >> joe: four walks issued by the combination of smyly and dotel since taking over for fister last inning. here comes the 0-2. spoiled it. >> tim: flat-footed, fouls it back.

reach and hope. >> joe: bases are loaded, one out in an 0-2 count on pence. dotel deals and hunter fouls it back to the right. >> tim: gerald laird continues to go farther outside he's going to be in the detroit dugout. the first pitch was just off the plate. that one gerald was sitting about six inches off the plate away. i would imagine he will go right back out there with a fastball. >> joe: this stadium is ready to erupt. another foul. >> tim: that was a mistake.

that was a hanger right there. a spinling slider. look at laird. sitting way outside and had to reach back to his left. dotel got away with one there. >> joe: octavio ready with another on 0-2. fly ball into right center. that is going to be deep enough. pagan tags. it's 2-0! a good at-bat by hunter pence. he fell behind but then got it on enough to get the fly ball to right to make
