BUMGARNER PITCHES SHUTOUT AS GAINTS TAKE SERIES LEAD

Madison Bumgarner pitched a complete game, only giving up 4 hits and striking out 8 as the Giants cruised to a 5-0 win over the Kansas City Royals to take a 3-2 lead in the World Series before the series returns to Kansas City. “You know what? For some reason, I keep getting really lucky this time of year, so I’ll take it,” Bumgarner said. Bumgarner is 4-0 in the October classic with a .29 ERA. “He’s special, isn’t he?” manager Bruce Bochy said. “What a stud.”
