Hunter Pence starts the bottom of the second with a single just past the shortstops glove. Brandon Belt comes up and bunts, and the defense is so surprised that he beats it out for a single. The Giants have a huge threat in the second as the Royals defense fails to shine.

I don’t know if Belt did that on his own, or if Bruce Bochy ordered the bunt.

Update: Travis Ishikawa hits a fly ball to deep center, and both runners advance. In Strat-o-Matic Baseball, that’s the rare fly ball A.

Update: Brandon Crawford grounds to second, driving in a run. The Giants lead 1-0 with a man on third and two out. Shields does not have a strikeout, and the Giants putting the ball in play has hurt him.

Update: Madison Bumgarner grounds out to third to end the inning. The Giants lead 1-0 after two innings.
