World Series Game 4, Giants Vs. Rangers: Andres Torres Adds Insurance Run
But just because Bumgarner has everybody’s confidence doesn’t mean anyone’s opposed to giving him some insurance runs of support, and the Giant bats were able to help him out a bit more in the top of the seventh.
With Darren Oliver still on the mound, Travis Ishikawa led off with a strikeout. But Edgar Renteria then stepped in and grounded a single through the hole and into left field. Renteria stayed put as Nate Schierholtz struck out, but he took off when Andres Torres looked in at Oliver in an 0-1 count, and Torres launched an outside fastball deep into center field. Josh Hamilton sprinted back and to his left, but he wasn't able to make a catch, as Torres' drive bounced off the wall and Renteria came around to score with ease.
Freddy Sanchez grounded out to end the inning, but the score is now 3-0 San Francisco, and the Rangers are nine outs away from facing Tim Lincecum in an elimination game Monday night.
