The SF Giants took two big steps in their quest for a World
Championship by beating the Detroit Tigers 2-0 last night on the arms of
Madison Baumgartner and Sergio Romo. Baumgartner gave up 2 hits
over his 8 innings and Romo was flawless in his inning of work.
Baumgartner becomes the first pitcher since Sandy Koufax to
throw consecutive shutouts in the World Series. Baumgartner has now struck out
14 batters in 15 innings and has allowed 5 hits in the two shut out
games. Romo was just as dominate setting down the Tigers 123 in the top of
the ninth sealing the win for the Giants.
The series now moves to Detroit and for Tiger fans
hopefully better outcomes. The Tiger bats must come to life or it will be a
quick series for the boys from Detroit. Tomorrow, the Giants send Ryan
Vogelsong and his 1.42 ERA against the Tigers send Anibal Sanchez to the mound.
Tiger's manager Jim Leyland is hoping Sanchez will repeat his ALCS shut out
performance against the Yankees. This is a crucial game for the Tigers. If
they go down 3-0 to the Giants it will be almost impossible for them
to win four straight.
Lets Go Giants
