In World Series game 4 both starters were not around for the 7th inning stretch or to get a decision in Jason Vargas for the Royals and Ryan Vogelsong for the Gigantes. In the end Vogelsong gets bailed out as the Gigantes reach back for some extra hammer time at the dish showing their "Valentine" and resiliency beating the Royals 11-4!

After the Giants scored in the 1st making it 1-0 the Royals jumped all over Vogelsong in the 2rd behind five singles and three free passes they put up a crooked four making it 4-1 K.C.. The Gigantes though chipped away at that lead with Buster Posey hitting a run-scoring single in the bottom half of that inning making it 4-2 K.C.. Vogelsong was done in that inning as the Royals looked to go up 3-1 in the series.

Hunter Pence then gets things started with a run-scoring single in the 5th making it 4-3 Royals. That was followed up by a Juan Perez sac-fly with Hunter scoring and that tied the ball game up at 4-4. From here it was all downhill for K.C. as  "Panda Smash" Sandoval gets a two-run single followed by a Brandon Belt RBI single making it 7-4 Gigantes as San Fran Hardball faithful was feeling a little bit of relief.

Then for insurance San Fran scores a crooked four in the 7th highlighted by two-baggers by both Joe Panik and Hunter Pence. Panik's double score two and Pence's double score a run. Hunter Strickland needing a little confidence gets three outs in the 9th as an Alex Gordon double was sandwiched in between those outs.

Giants tie the Series at 2-2 as we get game 3 Sunday Night with a for sure game 6 back at Kaufmann on Tuesday night.
