8:00 pm
is hitting .462 in this world series to try to set up a double play. >> harold: you almost have to do it. you can't let buster take whacks and bring the infield in so you at least try to give him an opportunity to get a double play ball but hunter pence is rolling right now. >> tom: it's the right move. i'm with you. you can't ask a rookie to pitch around buster posey but double up hunter pence is very, very difficult. >> joe: perez out to talk to the 5'11" left-hander finnegan. good speed with the two lead runners, the front guy is arias. the guy in the middle is blanco. bunt by panik and walk to posey and here is pence.
8:01 pm
he does not wait around, pence. >> harold: he comes up grupti g and hacking! >> tom: finnegan's best pitch is a sinker but that one was a little higher than he wanted it. >> joe: pence could have some night. he already has two rbis and trying to put the giants back on top. one ball, one strike. >> harold: i'm looking at the infield. the middle infielders are looking if it's a sharper, come home and hit sharp at you, you turn two. normally, they might be back another five feet, double play all the way. >> joe: left side. escobar comes home. they get the out. bases are loaded with two down as finnegan gets pence to bounce
8:02 pm
into the 6-2 force-out at the plate. >> harold: because they know the speed of hunter pence, they learned early. this ball taken to the right. once he takes a second to home and you might not turn the double play and great read by escobar to go ahead and go back home and get the out. again, another nice baseball play. >> joe: perez wanted to make sure his foot was on the plate and the mask crossing in front of his eyes. now it's up to pablo sandoval. singled off the lefty duffy his last time up. that is into center! giants lead. sandoval delivers. one run scores. here comes another. it's 6-4.
8:03 pm
>> harold: again, attacking first pitch. the giants have been aggressive. here it is. watch the bat flip. boom. see you. joe, one pitch from getting out of it and one pitch from being down. >> joe: posey scoring all the way from second. now brandon belt. giants led 1-0 after one. trailed 4-1 and now lead it 6-4. belt grounds one up the middle. here comes pence!
8:04 pm
and add another. it's 7-4. >> tom: once again, the giants are not taking big swings. 12 hits, 11 singles. short to the baseball. through the middle of the field. time after time after time. >> harold: first pitch hitting! putting him on his heels. rope a dope. >> joe: no juan perez two on, two out. brandon belt told us before the game, it's just different for us in the postseason. we are not swinging for the
8:05 pm
fences. we are trying to put the bat on the ball and trying to put pressure on the defense. move guys along. he comes up with a big two-out rbi hit. the 0-1. one ball, one strike. >> tom: i like what you said about first pitch hitting there. finally, he switched up and threw the slider to perez first pitch but sandoval and belt, both got first pitch sinkers. >> joe: should end the inning. infant ergets gets the out. but it started with a pinch-hit. 40,000 plus fans here at at&t park love it. the panda bear loves it. giants have overcome a 4-1 deficit and lead by three. back after this from your local fox station.
8:08 pm
8:09 pm
underserved communities the opportunity to play baseball and softball while encouraging academic achievements. a great program. seventh inning. what a game. what a night. now the giants bull pen has a chance to say watch what we can do. the first guy out of it is jeremy affeldt. >> harold: amazing how the pendulum has swung. this isn't like the giants bull pen isn't a lock down bull pen either. >> joe: here's gordon. right guy is coming up to do something about a three-run deficit, gordon, cain, and hosmer. >> harold: joe, you were talking about the bull pen and just their ability to challenge. i love affeldt able to go righties and lefties. >> joe: he is not just a matchup left-hander and he will have the right-handed hitting cain next.
8:10 pm
that is into left field. slicing. perez. one out. >> harold: joe, again, dead on it because this would have been possibly ishikawa or morse, they don't get to this ball. bochy loves to stay with his defense. when this game is close you think you pinch-hit for perez. a one-run game or tie game, you leave him in. they break it open and get a three-run lead and the defense pays off. >> tom: terrific play. that ball working away from him the entire time. >> joe: here is lorenzo cain who is 2 for 3. ball one upstairs from affeldt, who was with kansas city at the beginning of his career. as we have talked about, dayton
8:11 pm
moore was the general manager in 2006. he's the one that traded affeldt to colorado. reinvented himself and worked on his mechanics and his delivery. he has a good fastball but he has an even better know-how, how to get out coming out of the bull pen. the count 1-1. >> tom: he came up a different pitcher. fastball, curveball, straight over the top and now a sinker breaking ball. >> joe: that is sandoval. two outs. >> harold: we talked about it last night. we are at that point in the series where positioning becomes such a critical part of it and you start to learn what guys can't or can't do against you. hard to get hits when you hit them at them. >> tom: you start in the low position at third base and stay there. don't rise up. nice move by the panda.
8:12 pm
>> joe: now hosmer. eric a nice night. rbi, single, and a double. hosmer is bailing out of there and it comes back for a strike. >> harold: when you haven't seen a guy, that was a teaser. >> tom: that was his old school breaking ball and get me over big bender! >> joe: he went around. hosmer can't believe it. strike two. >> harold: this will mess you up right here. the first one kind of gets you dancing and then he throws this one. got him set up where he hasn't seen the other pitches. >> joe: affeldt off the mound.
8:13 pm
can't make the play. he wears a knee brace on his right leg. a base hit. that keeps the inning alive. they hold their breath every time affeldt gets off the mound because he's had a tension for getting injured. >> tom: everything from picking up his kids to slicing up the thumb trying to cut a package of frozen hamburgers. >> harold: it's interesting watching hosmer run. see where he is at on the baseline? if he throws the ball he might get that interference call we saw so much this summer. just wasn't able to make a release. >> joe: here is moustakas. opportunity for kansas city after that infield base hit. moustakas. ball one, outside from affeldt. guys, hosmer led off in the fifth inning with a double against petit.
8:14 pm
petit got a pop-up, a strikeout, and another pop-up. yusmeiro petit has not allowed a run in a month. and he has pitched 11 scoreless in the postseason. he is the pitcher of record if the giants hang on, he'll go to 3-0 this postseason. >> tom: huge x-factor in their season. >> joe: 2-0. >> tom: with tim lincecum struggling in the rotation he picked them up. pitched in the extra inning game and bringing peace and quiet to a game getting out of hand for the giants. >> joe: 2-0 the count. moustakas. to the right side. right into the defense. from shallow right, inning over. panik makes the play.
8:15 pm
now the royals have stranded seven on the night. we are going to the seventh inning stretch. here is our game summary. giants got the first run. then kansas city got four runs in the third inning. ten batters, five hits. the giants in the sixth inning, they sent eight batters, got four hits, three runs and petit, right now the pitcher of record, and how about the work he's done in october? it's a 7-4 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning. petit, he bailed out the giants here tonight. right now for the introduction of "god bless america," we join public address announcer ranell brooks moon. >> ladies and gentlemen, please rise and remove your caps as we honor our military and military troops here at home and all around the world. here now to perform "god bless

8:21 pm
ten different giants with a hit in this game. that's the first time for the giants in their great history in the world series. big part of that, the number 9 spot. three different guys with a single. another number nine hitter coming up michael morse who is on deck. guy owe in-game box score for the giants. hits up and down. the guy at the plate the only one not in on the bunt. affeldt hasn't hit but the number 9 spot, three singles and a run scored. >> harold: have you heard the phrase crooked numbers? >> tom: a lot of them right there. >> joe: here comes a 1-2. 2-2. >> harold: what an arm. watch finnegan. moving the ball in and out.
8:22 pm
i go he got roughed up last half-inning, but you can see why they are so high on this young man. >> joe: here is his 2-2. reaching for it. tough play. infante, no chance. base hit. lead-off man is on and now each spot in the lineup for the giants has at least one hit. >> harold: you saw hosmer with one last half-inning. right here, crawford again. how many strikes, tom? >> tom: two strikes. time and time again. both these teams really tough to put away. i love watching both of these offenses go to work because of that. >> joe: look at what the pinch hitters have done for the giants. the last 15 plate appearances, 7 for 11. there are bunters in there. two rbis and two base hits and that includes this man, michael morse, as sergio romo gets
8:23 pm
loose. affeldt, the scoreless top of the seventh. ball one. morse, who homered as a pinch hitter in game five of the nlcs and last night, an rbi double and a run scored as a pinch hitter in the sixth. >> harold: every ball he has hit is loud. he is locked in. taking a first pitch, looking good. >> joe: 2-0. we know what morse is thinking about doing. launching one. 3-0.
8:24 pm
i think he may be about out of gas. >> tom: absolutely. he is keyholing right here. small little box where he is waiting to see if the ball gets in there. if it does, he'll get unhinged. >> harold: didn't want it. he is looking for something inside to pull and what tells you that, he missed that foul ball home run last night. a ball he pulled too far foul. he is looking to do the same thing but keep it fair. >> joe: here is the 3-1. caught the inside corner. good pitch from finnegan. full count. >> tom: one ball on the outside corner and came right back in. nice job of framing by perez to kind of seal a strike right there. >> harold: the guy is sitting in the count for three pitches
8:25 pm
looking for the one he wants, that ball misses in like that, you know he had a good look at it. >> tom: going offspeed here. >> joe: a walk. after the infield hit. that might be it for finnegan. so two on, nobody out, critics are calling this season of the ultimate fighter the most anticipated since the show first aired. don't miss a jaw dropping new episode of "the ultimate fighter." a champion will be crowned at wednesday 10:00 eastern and pacific only on fox sports 1 streaming live on fox sports go. a double switch, as ned yost is out of the dugout. that's it for finnegan, after the hit and the walk. the pitcher of record is tim collins, he is coming in with or

8:28 pm
>> joe: tonight's aerial coverage brought to you by directv. if you call yourself a sports fan you got to get directv. 1-800-directv. jayson nix is added to this world series roster at third. collins comes in and misses outside with ball one. nix batting ninth and moustakas is out of there. there are the numbers in the regular season and postseason for the lefty collins. >> harold: one of the reasons you try to bunt is, obviously, put yourself in scoring position where you want to get to where a grand slam does not beat you.
8:29 pm
>> joe: another one outside. 2-0. >> tom: harold, you're a big fan of this. the bunt has fallen out of season in the regular season in major league baseball but we have seen throughout the postseason how effective it can be and how difficult it is to defend hara. >> harold: defending and as the inning moves forward, puts pressure on the defense. >> joe: the bunt is perfect and too late. gets away. runner scores. that's crawford. it's 8-4. exactly what you're talking about. >> harold: right on cue. the pressure that it produces. i look at it like playing a tennis match. how often do you watch volleys in tennis and basically until you make a mistake, i'll keep hitting it back to you and it's so hard to be perfect. this ball just ends up being up
8:30 pm
the line. >> joe: and it's a base hit. and then the error to score the run. so no rbi but a base hit on the bunt for gregor blanco. >> tom: after tim flannery, the third base coach, another rti, run, thrown, in. i lost track how many they are up now. >> joe: you give them any opportunity and the giants will just blow you up. runners at first and third, nobody out. panik. remember what joe panik did last time. dropped down a perfect bunt. the previous inning tied the game with a two-run double. the more you see this guy, the more you realize in his first taste of big league life, coming up in june, the gi
