After a two-out Buster Posey single in the bottom of the eighth, Derek Holland comes in and walks Nate Schierholtz and Cody Ross to load the bases for Aubrey Huff. San Francisco is trying to add to their 2-0 lead.

Update: The third straight walk brings in the third Giants run. Holland can’t find the strike zone, and the Giants lead the Rangers 3-0.

Update: It doesn’t matter who is pitching as Mark Lowe walks Juan Uribe for a 4-0 Giants lead. That’s five RBI in the series for Uribe.

Update: With the runners moving on a 3-2 pitch, Edgar Renteria ends the walk parade with a two-run single to left. The Giants lead 6-0 as they’ve turned a pitching duel into a rout.

Update: I wonder what the record is for consecutive walks in a World Series game? I suspect it’s more than four, but probably not much more.

Update: I pulled out my old Sporting News record book through 1999. They had the consecutive walk record for a pitcher at three. They don’t have the record for a team.

Update: Michael Kirkman comes in to pitch, and Aaron Rowand delivers a two-run triple to right-center. The Giants lead 8-0 as the eighth inning may never end. Seven straight batters have reached with two outs in the inning.

Update: The hits keep coming as Andres Torres doubles to extend the lead to 9-0. If someone hits a home run, the Giants will have hit for the cycle in the inning.

Update: Freddy Sanchez makes the second and third out of the inning as he strikes out to send the game to the ninth. The Rangers need nine runs to pull even as the Giants lead 9-0.
