KANSAS CITY, Mo. Air Max 90 Sale Australia . – A giant, indeed.Madison Bumgarner punctuated a World Series performance for the ages by pitching the San Francisco Giants to their third championship in five years with a 3-2 win over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.The big left-hander came out of the bullpen to throw five scoreless innings on two days rest, saving a Series pushed to the limit. And by winning Game 7 on the road, Bumgarner and the Giants succeeded where no team had in 3 1/2 decades.I wasnt thinking about innings or pitch count. I was just thinking about getting outs, getting outs, until I couldnt get them anymore and we needed someone else, Bumgarner said in a monotone that made it sound as though he was talking about batting practice.A two-out misplay in the ninth almost wrecked it for him.Bumgarner had retired 14 in a row when Alex Gordon sent a drive to centre. The pitcher pointed his glove in the air, thinking it could be the final out, but the ball fell in front of centre fielder Gregor Blanco for a single.Blanco allowed it to skip past him to the wall, and left fielder Juan Perez kicked the ball before throwing to shortstop Brandon Crawford in short left, holding Gordon at third.When it got by him, I had a smile on my face. I thought maybe I could score, but he got to it quickly enough, Gordon said. I just put my head down and ran, almost fell around second base, was just waiting for Jirsch (third base coach Mike Jirschele) to give me the signal. It was a good hold. He had the ball in plenty of time.From there, Blanco hoped for the best.We just need one more out. We got this. Lets do it, he thought to himself.Bumgarner, the Series MVP, retired Salvador Perez on a foulout to third baseman Pablo Sandoval near the Giants dugout. The 25-year-old ace was immediately embraced by catcher Buster Posey, and the rest of the Giants rushed to the mound to join the victory party.Most of the San Francisco players tossed their gloves high in the air as they ran to the centre of the diamond.What a warrior he is, and truly incredible what he did throughout the post-season, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. I just told him I just cant believe what he accomplished through all this. Hes such a humble guy, and we rode him pretty good.Three days after throwing 117 pitches in a four-hit shutout to win Game 5, Bumgarner tossed 68 more and dropped his record-low career Series ERA to a minuscule 0.25. Hes allowed one run and 14 hits in five outings covering 36 innings.Yeah, it was hopeless, Royals manager Ned Yost said.Bumgarner initially was credited with the win. But nearly an hour after the final out, the official scorers awarded it to Jeremy Affeldt, who was in the game when San Francisco took the lead.Affeldt pitched 2 1-3 innings of scoreless relief in his longest outing since July 2012. He was helped by the first World Series reversal in the era of expanded replay, which gave the Giants a double play on Eric Hosmers sharp grounder.Rookie second baseman Joe Panik made a diving stop and flipped to Crawford with his glove for the relay, a key play that prevented a potential Royals rally.Bumgarner joined Cincinnatis Rawley Eastwick in 1975 as the only pitchers with at least two wins and a save in a World Series, and the 15-out save set a Fall Classic record.With it all, Bumgarner etched his place in post-season lore among the likes of Christy Mathewson, Babe Ruth, Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Reggie Jackson, Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling and David Ortiz — players whose indelible October performances led their team to titles.Posey expected Bumgarner to throw three innings, then turn over the game to setup man Sergio Romo and closer Santiago Casilla — who threw four pitches in the entire Series.But he just kept rolling, Posey said. I mean, its unbelievable.Consecutive sacrifice flies by Michael Morse and Brandon Crawford put the Giants ahead 2-0 in the second against Jeremy Guthrie, but Tim Hudson gave the lead right back in the bottom half on Gordons RBI double and Omar Infantes sacrifice fly.Morse hit a go-ahead single in the fourth on a 99 mph fastball from reliever Kelvin Herrera to break a 2-all tie, and the Giants eked out a battle of bullpens on a night when both starting pitchers made unusually quick exits.The Giants were dubbed a Band of Misfits in 2010 when they beat Texas to win the franchises first title since 1954 in New York. Two years later, they swept Detroit for another championship.And this time, they became the second NL team with three titles in a five-year span, matching Stan Musials St. Louis Cardinals of 1942-46.Every other year. Its the closest thing to a baseball dynasty in the 21st century.Home teams had won nine straight Game 7s in the Series since Pittsburghs victory at Baltimore in 1979, including the Royals 11-0 rout of St. Louis in 1985. Teams hosting the first two games had won 23 of the last 28 titles, including five in a row. And the Giants had lost all four of their previous World Series pushed to the limit.But before a pumped-up, blue-and-white-clad crowd of 40,535 that hoped noise and passion could lift the small-market Royals to a title that seemed improbable when Kansas City was languishing two games under .500 in mid-July, the Giants won the second all-wild card World Series, 12 years after losing Game 7 to the Angels in the first.Hudson and Guthrie combined for 15 outs — matching the fewest by Game 7 starters. Hudson, at 39, became the oldest Game 7 starter. The 35-year-old Guthrie took the loss.With his shaggy hair making him look every bit a gunslinger, Bumgarner entered to boos in the bottom of the fifth for his first relief appearance since the 2010 NL playoffs. He coated his long arms with rosin and groomed the pocked-up mound with his spikes.Bumgarner gave up an opposite-field single to his first batter, Infante, and didnt allow another runner until the ninth. Bumgarner yielded two hits, struck out four and walked none. He pitched 52 2-3 post-season innings, 4 1-3 more than the previous mark set by Schilling for Arizona in 2001, and finished with 270 innings combined, including the regular season.MadBum became king of SoMa, and from Nob Hill to North Beach, from The Marina to The Mission, San Francisco celebrated another title won by Kung Fu Panda and Hunter Pence.Pence batted .444 in the Series and Sandoval, a free-agent-to-be playing perhaps his last game for the Giants, finished at .429 following a three-hit night. In an era when pitching and computer-aided defence has supplanted steroids-saturated sluggers, baseballs dominant team established itself in the tech-fueled, boomtown by the Bay.The Giants, a 20-1 longshot when 2014 odds were first posted a year ago, won their eighth title and third since moving from New York to San Francisco after the 1957 season. They also have won 10 straight post-season rounds, one shy of the record set by the New York Yankees from 1998-01.Most of it this year was due to Bumgarner.He didnt lose a bit of energy. He didnt lose a bit of stuff, injured teammate Matt Cain said. Sometimes you wonder if hes got a pulse.THE COREEight players have been on all three Series rosters for the Giants in the past five years: Affeldt, Bumgarner, Casilla, Tim Lincecum, Javier Lopez, Posey, Romo and Sandoval. Cain, a member of the first two title teams, was hurt this October. Before this run, manager John McGraw (1905, 21-22) was the only Giant with three titles. Bochy became the 10th manager to win three World Series titles — the other nine are all in the Hall of Fame. Adidas NMD R2 Australia . — Canadian womens amateur golf champion Brooke Henderson is a little less starstruck as she prepares for her second career appearance at an LPGA Tour major event. Adidas NMD Sale Australia . Or maybe he already did. Clark hit his first homer, Wily Peralta pitched into the seventh inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Miami Marlins 4-1 Wednesday night.NEWARK, N.J. – The struggling Pittsburgh Penguins could have given up against the New Jersey Devils.They trailed by a goal in the third period, and goalie Cory Schneider was stopping everything and getting bailed out by some pings off the posts.But the Penguins hung in and pulled out a much-needed win.Defenceman Simon Despres scored 2:21 into overtime, and the Penguins rallied to beat the Devils 2-1 on Friday night.The way things have been going lately, we could have just accepted this as a loss, but we all stayed with it, said Chris Kunitz, who forced overtime with a power-play goal with 3:11 left in regulation. That was the key. We stayed with it, stayed focused, kept the pressure on.The loss spoiled a magnificent performance by Schneider, who made 41 saves.The winning goal came after Schneider made a close-in stop on Brandon Sutton. The Penguins kept the puck in the zone, and Despres shot from inside the blue line beat a screened Schneider.I didnt get a great look at it, Schneider said. I think he came one way and shot it back the other through a screen. It just got a piece of the post and went in. It was a nice shot.Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said Schneiders performance was one of the best he has seen by a goalie in a while.He gave us a chance to win, more than a chance to win, Lamoriello said. Its a shame he didnt get the win. Certainly the team would get the win, but he deserved a better fate.Marc-Andre Fleury made 13 saves for the Penguins, who fell behind 1-0 when Devils forward Steve Bernier scored on a wraparound 6:08 into the third period.New Jersey failed to tie its season-best, three-game winning streak. Pittsburgh won for the second time in seven games (2-3-2).We talked about that, the last couple of days, that most importantly, we had to stay with it, Penguins coach Mike Johnston said. We were playing our game. We played a good game. We didnt flinch after they scored. We did whatever it took to get the game-tying goal.But when (Kris) Letangs shot hit the post (with 7 minutes left), you have to wonder whether its going to be our night.Schneider stopped the first 37 Pittsburgh shots and seemed on the vverge of his third shutout of the season when Peter Harrold took a high-sticking penalty with 3:29 left in regulation. Balenciaga Triple s Sale Australia. The Penguins needed only 18 seconds to tie it 1-1. Sidney Crosby, who had been stopped point blank earlier in the period by Schneider on a nice setup by David Perron, took a shot from the right circle that hit Schneider in the chest. Defenceman Adam Larsson couldnt clear the puck, and Kunitz fired the rebound into the net for his 15th goal.They kept coming, Schneider said. You have to give Pittsburgh credit. They put a lot of pressure on and took advantage of their opportunities late. We just couldnt get that extra goal or keep them at bay long enough.Bernier had given the Devils the lead with a goal that was aided by the leg of linesman Ryan Galloway.Berniers dump-in into the Penguins zone hit Galloway, allowing Bernier to retrieve the puck. He skated past defenceman Robert Bortuzzo, went behind the net, came out the other side and banked the puck into the net off Fleurys skate.Schneider kept the Devils in the game in the opening two periods, stopping 20 shots, including a breakaway by Sutter in the first and a backhander by Crosby after a sweeping move from the corner in the second.We have to be way better, we cant keep relying on Schneids and the other goalies to keep us in there the whole game, Devils forward Patrik Elias said. Were not taking charge. Were not skating well. Were just sitting back. We have to be hungrier tomorrow.NOTES: Evgeni Malkin of the Penguins missed his fourth straight game with a lower-body injury. … Penguins F Chris Kunitz played in his 700th NHL game. … New Jerseys Andy Greene played in his 196th consecutive game, tying Scott Stevens for the second longest streak by a Devils defenceman. … The Devils are 5-2-2 in their last nine games. … The Penguins snapped a five-game losing streak in New Jersey.
