A strong outing from Yordano Ventura and a rough second inning for the Giants means we all get a Game Seven on Wednesday.
Or: Something perilously close to Jeremy Affeldt/Javier Lopez slash fiction.
The Giants take a one-game lead. One-game leads can be fleeting, but Madison Bumgarner’s big-game reputation will not be.
Yusmeiro Petit has been an unheralded and surprising key during the Giants’ postseason run and he came up big once again on Saturday night.
No matter how questionable the decision, everything Ned Yost does this postseason seems to work in the end.
