The bottom of the seventh gave Madison Bumgarner and Giants fans the world around a little bit of a scare. But just like the first six innings, the seventh frame passed by all scoreless.
World Series Game 4, Giants Vs. Rangers: Madison Bumgarner Still Going Strong
Leading off, Michael Young immediately fell behind 0-2, and he swung and missed at a low inside slider for the first out.
The next batter was Josh Hamilton, and he bounced a routine grounder to Juan Uribe at third. Uribe, however, was unable to come up with the ball cleanly, and Hamilton reached on an error that opened the door. It felt like the Rangers were about to mount a charge, and when Vladimir Guerrero worked a three-ball count, it seemed like a big hit was just around the corner.
But Guerrero struck out for the third time in the game. And after Nelson Cruz rolled a groundball single back up the middle to bring the tying run to the plate, Ian Kinsler flew out softly to Cody Ross in left field. The Rangers had their chance, but Bumgarner didn't give in, and with a pitch count of 92 and the bottom of the order due up, he may even come out for the eighth.
