On Wednesday night the San Francisco Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals 3-2 in game 7 of the World Series, this is the Giants third World Series title in the last five seasons. A big reason for the Giants success was due to the left handed pitcher Madison Bumgarner (pictured above holding the World Series trophy) who pitched a World Series for the ages. Bumgarner went 2-0 in his two starts this World Series and then came out of the bullpen on two days' rest to throw five scoreless innings to secure the title for the Giants. Both teams scored two runs a piece in the second inning, but in the top of the fourth inning Michael Morse drove in Pablo Sandoval on a single which proved to be the game winning run. Bumgarner, the World Series MVP came in at the bottom of the fifth inning and the Royals didn't get a single hit off of him until the bottom of the ninth with one out remaining when Alex Gordon hit a single to center field, which skipped by Gregor Blanco, as a result Gordon ended up at third. The very next hitter Bumgarner got Salvador Perez to foulout to third basemen Pablo Sandoval for the final out of the World Series. Kansas City Royal fans were left in disbelief that they came so close to a World Series title, but came up short. The fans still thanked the Kansas City Royals for a great season in a gesture of chants and cheers, as much as they are disappointed they are still very proud of what they accomplished this season.
