MLB: KC Forces Game 7 With 10-0 Rout of San Francisco
In Major League Baseball action,
Kansas City makes a statement and forces the World Series into Game 7 after obliterating the San Francisco Giants 10-0.
The royals busted game 6 wide open with a seven-run second inning off Giants pitcher Jake Peavy.
Taking the mound wearing the initials of late St. Louis outfielder Oscar Taveras on his hat, KC rookie pitcher Yordano Ventura was determined to maintain the momentum the Royals seized with their wide lead, allowing just three hits in seven innings.
"Obviously, it was a big lead, but at the same time I didn't want to change anything. I stayed aggressive, and I wanted to stay aggressive. But clearly that gave me some room to work. I wanted to do a good job today and give the bullpen the rest that they needed."
But Giants manager Bruce Bochy is staying positive. He says that San Francisco will shake off the loss and be ready for game 7 in Kansas City.
The winner of the World Series will be decided in tomorrow's game, which sees Giants starting pitcher Tim Hudson up against Royals' pitcher Jeremy Guthrie.
