tom, you think about all of the criticism ned yost gets and he certainly got it from various sources in that wildcard game, but just tonight, the touch he has with that bull pen to bring herrera in in the sixth. he savedqey finnegan. finnegan bridged the gap to get to wade davis and now greg holland. he's done a masterful job with this kansas city bull pen and this roster. >> tom: absolutely. aggressive, bringing herrera into the game but knowing when to take him out and the confidence in the kid, finnegan, to bail him out. >> joe: here is sandoval. ball one, low. >> harold: ned yost is watching. this is it. as we said, the script is already in. guys have to find a way to somehow crack the big three in the back of this bull pen. down one. >> joe: who better to do it than

sandoval? instead, he chops one to the right side. holland flips for out number two. the royals are one out away from a two games to one lead. >> harold: holland falls so far off, that that ball, a tapper, was a routine play to him with his delivery. >> joe: here is hunter pence. holland tries to save his seventh game of this postseason. in case you're wondering, greg holland has not allowed a home run in his last 43 appearances, including this postseason. pence homered in game one. strike one from holland. >> tom: there is that slider. he knows that is a dead fastball hitter at the plate right now. the wipeout one travelso#?d% o

the zone. >> joe: he went around. strike two. the royals one strike away. a well-pitched game. the front end and back end. great defense. royals up by a run as the count goes to 1-2 on hunter pence. >> harold: joe, you were talking about him not giving up home runs. he lives on the edge. i think he pitches according to the ballpark. in kansas city and here, you going to beat me, you beat me to the big park. >> joe: pence back to holland! royals take game three!

and the bull pen for kansas city does it yet again. herrera, finnegan, davis, holland, and the winner, the starter, jeremy guthrie, his first career postseason win. >> harold: this was a great game for baseball. the pace it was played at, the execution, the defense. when pitchers are sharp, defenders are sharp. >> tom: the race to six innings and the royals won it. how about jeremy guthrie the start he gave this royals team? >> joe: guthrie got into the sixth. and then the bull pen took over. herrera bailed the starter out in the sixth inning tonight. just as he did as they celebrate in kansas city in game two. so it's herrera again in the sixth inning stopping the bleeding and then the rest of the guys do their thing. >> harold: i tell you what, on

the giants side this brings madison bumgarner in the situation for possible game four. >> joe: that question was asked to bruce bochy before the game would you bring bumgarner back for game four. he did not shut the door on that. not likely but not improb. >> erin: i'm here with eric hosmer. happy birthday. >> thank you. >> erin: 1 for 4 with a rbi tonight. your breaking out part in the postseason continues. why? what was ha it been in october for you? why? >> just battling and bunch of guys in here battling and getting key hits in key situations. a big hit there, a guy a second and any time bull pen coming in and assurances and huge. >> erin: ned yost said it seem to come together for you guys in the seventh inning in the wildcard game. you're continuing to grow. what have you figured out about yourself in the world series? >> showing no fear.

a crazy game. our back against the wall and season on the line. we continued to battle and when that game was over the next one for us. we know we have a dangerous team when postseason baseball comes and try to get the lead and hand it off for the bull pen. >> erin: they won six straight world series games until tonight for the giants. >> huge. they came back fighting there. you know these games are never going to be easy. it's a tough team and these games are coming down to the wire like this but this is a huge win for us and hats off to the bull pen for holding it down for us. >> erin: you get the win. what are you doing tonight for the birthday? >> i don't know. i'm glad my family is here and got to see it and i'm glad we got a win of all things. >> erin: thanks. >> thank you. >> joe: what a game. if you like baseball, you had to love this one. no matter who you're rooting for, this was a well-pitched, well-played and well-defensed ball game here in game three. timely hitting. and the royals win on the road.
