San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner again was untouchable Sunday night.
This time, Bumgarner didn’t need any help from the Giants bullpen. He outdueled Royals starter James Shields one more time and tossed a complete-game shutout in the 5-0 victory over the Royals.
Eric Hosmer was one of the Royals hitters who was baffled by Bumgarner.
“He’s tough guy to really get comfortable at-bats in,” said Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer. “It just seems like it’s a constant battle every time you face him”
The World Series returns to Kansas City for Game 6 Tuesday night.
To win the coveted the World Series championship, the Royals must win both Game Six and Game Seven.
