Giants lead 3 games to one!


ARLINGTON, Texas — Aubrey Huff hit a long two-run homer off Tommy Hunter to put San Francisco ahead, rookie Madison Bumgarner pitched two-hit ball and the Giants made several fine defensive plays to preserve a 2-0 lead over the Texas Rangers after six innings in Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday night.

With the Giants trying to open a 3-1 Series lead, Andres Torres doubled off the first-base bag and down the right-field line leading off the third. Freddy Sanchez grounded out in a gritty nine-pitch at-bat before Huff sent the next pitch, Hunter's 62nd of the night, about 10 feet fair deep into the lower right-field stands.

Normally the Giants' first baseman, Huff was a designated hitter for the first time this year. He had gone 76 at-bats without a home run since Sept. 25.

Bumgarner struck out three and walked two, throwing 49 of 73 pitches for strikes and not allowing a runner past first base. The Rangers' first hit was an infield single by Michael Young leading off the fourth. Sanchez caught up with the grounder as he spun on the right-field grass, but the ball popped out of his glove. By the time he picked it up and threw to first, Young beat out a hit.

1. What about Madison Bumgarner?

Unbelievable job. This was a big win with Cliff Lee going for the Rangers in game 5. Worst case scenario now, the Giants come home with a 3-2 lead.

Just one more..please!
