Getty Images Game 2 is scoreless no longer.
The Giants finally broke through in the bottom of the seventh inning when Brandon Crawford grounded into a double play with the bases loaded to score Hunter Pence from third base.
The inning was set up when Doug Fister gave up a leadoff single to Pence. He was replaced by Drew Smyly, who proceeded to walk Brandon Belt. Gregor Blanco then dropped down a perfectly-placed bunt and the Tigers’ only hope was that it would roll foul. It didn’t. Once again, everything seems to be going the Giants’ way. Crawford then hit the double-play grounder to score Pence. Smyly escaped further damage by getting Ryan Theriot (who pinch-hit for Madison Bumgarner) to strike out. Things could have been been much worse for the Tigers given the circumstances.
The Giants have a 1-0 lead entering the eighth inning while the Tigers have six outs left to play with.

Our bats are cold.
It would be more fun if we had some back and forth here. Well, now to the D.

Respect to Fister for a great game, but I’m happy for Mad Bum even more! Well done!

You guys played great. It’s impossible not to respect that…but I still don’t like Buster Brown.

Really? He’s a good kid and a very good catcher. What’s not to like?

I guess he just rubs me the wrong way. I like other players on your team better. I don’t like young punks much generally though. They’re like annoying puppies.
