Giants hail brilliant Bumgarner

World Series history was made on Wednesday night in Missouri when pitcher Madison Bumgarner delivered a performance for the ages to help the San Francisco Giants overcome the Kansas City Royals in a memorable winner-takes-all Game Seven.

Winning his third championship at the age of just 25, Bumgarner arrived out to the mound to protect his team’s slender 3-2 lead in the fourth inning.

But the starting pitcher had just thrown his team to a Game Five win in San Francisco on Sunday night, a so-called complete game shutout — throwing the entire nine innings and not conceding a single run.
