Bumgarner, Giants lead Royals 2-0 in Game 5

Oct 27, 2014 - 2:27 AM San Francisco, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Giants have scraped together a 2-0 lead and Madison Bumgarner is pitching well against the Royals again in Game 5 of the World Series.

The series is tied 2-2 after San Francisco's 11-4 win on Saturday night, when 13 of its 16 hits were singles.

Singles helped the Giants build their lead on Sunday, too, as each of their first eight hits went for one base.

After Hunter Pence and Brandon Belt hit consecutive singles off James Shields to start the second inning, they moved up on a fly out and Pence scored on Brandon Crawford's groundout to make it 1-0.

In the fourth inning, Pablo Sandoval led off with a hit, went to second base on Travis Ishikawa's two-out single and came home on Crawford's hit.

Bumgarner gave up singles in the first and second innings but retired 15 of the next 16 batters through the sixth, allowing just a one-out double to Omar Infante in the fifth that got past a diving Ishikawa in left field.

It's a pitching rematch of Game 1, when Bumgarner threw seven strong innings in a 7-1 win and Shields was knocked around for five runs in three innings.
