This is the second time in Seth Lugo’s career that he’s faced the minimum through four innings.
The only other time that’s happened was two years and one day ago against the Chicago White Sox, when Lugo delivered his first complete game.
One, two, three inning.
Rise now.
Great chance here for the Giants to go ahead, and I think the right guy up.
He’s a guy that’s gonna put the ball in play most of the time.
Now, a pitch hit to center field, and plenty deep enough.
Thomas is underneath it.
He’ll catch.
Both runners tagged.
Throw going to third, and Gilbert is in safely as Adames scores.
It’s risky.
One-nothing, Giants.

Rupe and Lugo, a lot of curve balls.
Both six innings, only three total hits.
Jung-hoo Lee.
Devers at first base and two down.
One-nothing, Giants in the seventh.
Now he lights that one down the right field line.
Fair ball, and Devers is on the move.
Around second, heading for third.
Gary Pettis windmilling him home.
Lee running toward third.
Devers will score.
Triple for Jung-hoo Lee.
Two-nothing, Giants.
Adames now pulls that one down the left field line, and that’s a base hit.
One hop on the warning track, up over the wall.
Automatic double for Adames.
Lee will score.
Three-nothing, Giants.

Salvy hits it high in the air, deep right center field.
That ball’s gone.
317.
Salvador Perez ties George Brett for the most home runs in franchise history.
George Brett has held the franchise’s home run record all by himself for 40 years.
No longer alone at the top.
El Capitan is at the list with 317 home runs.
Salvy’s home run, in the midst of its history, also made it a one-run game.
Runners on the corners, one out.
And Lofton sends it into left center field.
Gap, it is down.
Fancy’s in to tie the game.
Nick Lofton off the bench, clutch again.
The Royals have batted around in the seventh inning.
Lane Thomas is the ninth man to hit.

Oh for three today with three strikeouts.
Line through the right side, and the Royals have the lead.
Marte’s in, Lofton scores, Jansen to third.
A five-run seventh inning for the Royals.
