At the top of the fifth, Juan Uribe made a nice play on a groundball and threw out Michael Young at first. However, he robbed shortstop Edgar Renteria of a chance to have an assist.
At the top of the fourth, Lee picked up his first strike of the game with Aubrey Huff hitting a pop too short. Juan Uribe followed through with a full strikeout. Finally, Edgar Renteria hit another pop-up to end it.
At the bottom of the fourth, Uribe struck out, but he taxed Cliff Lee despite a 1-2-3 inning. Lee is now up to 75 pitches through four innings.
At the top of the fourth, Cliff Lee was easily taken out by Tim Lincecum. Mitch Moreland missed the first two pitches then hit a weak grounder to shortstop Edgar Renteria on third.
Freddy Sanchez scored one run, which Buster Posey followed with a run-scoring single. Both times, however, a runner was held at third because Texas leftfielder Nelson Cruz retrieved the ball quickly. Had Vladimir Guerrero had been playing AT&T Park's smaller leftfield rather than rightfield the Giants would be winning 3-2, as a second run would have scored on either Sanchez's double or Posey's single because it would have taken too long for Guerrero to amble on over.
The stats are getting really interesting in the World Series Game 1, but we'll see who will really come out on top.
