Madison Bumgarner (named series Most Valuable Player; that's him celebrating the victory with teammates) pitched five innings of two-hit, four-strikeout scoreless baseball in relief while Michael Morse delivered the go-ahead RBI single in the fourth inning as the San Francisco Giants won their third World Series championship in five years on Wednesday with their 3-2 road victory in game seven over the Kansas City Royals.
The Giants won their first World Series game seven in five tries and ended a string of nine straight game-seven victories by home teams.
A key to the Giants' victory came in the third inning as second baseman Joe Panik turned in a double play (this after video replay overturned an earlier ruling that he didn't) to help snuff out a Royals rally (Kansas City had tied it up at 2-2 in the second inning after the Giants had scored twice in their half of that same inning).
