Juan Uribe (right) is greeted at the plate after his three-run homer in the fifth. (Getty Images)It wasn't the pitchers duel everyone expected.
Quite the opposite, actually. After Texas scored in each of the game's first two frames, the Giants stormed back with six runs in the fifth inning to break it open, and added three more in the eighth before eventually winning, 11-7. The two teams' run total of 18 is the highest this postseason, eclipsing the 13 scored by the Rangers and Yankees in Game 4 of the ALCS.
Even after the six-run frame, the Rangers weren't ready to call it a night. Texas put up two runs in the sixth inning on two-out hits from Mitch Moreland, who lined one off Tim Lincecum's leg for a single, and David Murphy to make the score 8-4. After Murphy's hit, Lincecum yielded to Santiago Casilla, who ended the threat with a strikeout of Elvis Andrus.
The Giants weren't finished either. San Francisco tacked on three final insurance runs in the eighth inning. An RBI double to left off the bat of Travis Ishikawa got things started before the Giants got RBI singles from Sanchez and Nate Schierholz. Sanchez's RBI was his third of the contest.
San Francisco's monster fifth inning got really moving with back-to-back two-out hits from Cody Ross and Aubrey Huff, which chased Lee from the game. Juan Uribe then promptly greeted reliever Darren O'Day with a three-run blast to left.
Sanchez kicked off the scoring in the fifth inning with his third double of the game. With that two-bagger, Sanchez became the first player in World Series history to double in his first three at-bats in the Fall Classic.
It was on Sanchez's second double of the game in the third that helped his team get on the board initially. Sanchez's RBI in the third helped the Giants to capitalize on a Michael Young error at third base and a rare hit batsman from Lee.
Buster Posey followed Sanchez with another line-drive single to center to tie the game temporarily at 2.
This all turned around what appeared to be a rocky start by the Giants and Lincecum. The Freak committed a mental mistake in the first inning that set him up for a potential disaster, but he narrowly avoided big trouble.
With one out and men on the corners, the Rangers' Nelson Cruz hit a soft grounder down the third-base line, where Lincecum fielded it and trapped Young between third base and home. But instead of forcing Young into a rundown, Lincecum simply chased Young back to third base, which was unoccupied.
That gave the Rangers bases loaded with one out instead of two men on and two outs. But the next batter, Ian Kinsler, grounded into a double play on the first pitch to spare San Francisco from a big inning.
Lee helped his team increase its lead in the second frame, doubling to the left-field gap. On the ensuing play, Bengie Molina scored on an Andrus sacrifice fly to put the Rangers up, 2-0, until the Giants came back to tie it and eventually take the lead.
