San Francisco, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Giants scratched out a run in the second inning to take a 1-0 lead over the Royals in Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday night.
The series is tied 2-2 after San Francisco's 11-4 win on Saturday night, when 13 of its 16 hits were singles.
Singles helped the Giants score first on Sunday, too, after Hunter Pence and Brandon Belt had consecutive hits off James Shields to start the second. They moved up on a fly out and Pence scored on Brandon Crawford's groundout to make it 1-0.
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner gave up two singles through three innings and was perfect in the third.
It's a pitching rematch of Game 1 last Tuesday, when Bumgarner threw seven strong innings in a 7-1 win and Shields was knocked around for five runs in three innings.
