The San Francisco Giants are now up
2 games to 1 on the St. Louis Cardinals thanks to Cardinals' pitcher,
Randy Choate, who threw the ball into right field on a bunt from Gregor Blanco, allowing Brandon Crawford to score the winning run.
That inning looked bad from the beginning for Choate, who walked Crawford, the first batter of the he faced. He then got two strikes on the next hitter, who was attempting to bunt, the bunt was then taken off and Juan Perez smacked a base hit into left field. Next to the plate was Blanco, and that was the icing on the bad inning cake for Choate. He threw a simple bunt play away and the
Giants celebrated.

Game 4 will be played in San Francisco before the series heads back to St. Louis. Unlike the previous round, the Championship series is a best-of-seven, so it will take the Giants 2 more wins, or the Cardinals 3 to make it to the World Series. I still believe that the Cardinals will find a way to advance, as they are the better team on paper, but the beauty of the postseason is that anything can happen.
Who do you think will come out on top?
I think it's going to come down to the wire. This series has been back and forth so much. I still believe that it will be the Giants and Royals squaring off in the World Series.
