Ramon Ramirez allowed a hit and a walk to open the frame, but the hard-throwing righty finally gets the first out of the ninth on a pop to right.
Jeremy Affeldt comes in, tosses a 55-foot fastball to the backstop on pitch No. 1, then walks Josh Hamilton to load the bases.
In comes dynamic Giants closer Brian Wilson. No word on whether or not “The Machine” is watching.
Vlad Guerrero greets Wilson with a liner to right, caught by Nate Schierholtz, that scores Julio Borbon on a sac fly.
The Giants bullpen had tossed 10 straight innings of scoreless ball this postseason before that Rangers run.
Nelson Cruz then rips a ball into the gap in right-center, scoring two more Rangers, making the score 11-7 with two outs.
Finally, Wilson and his jet-black beard retire Ian Kinsler on a fly to short right to end the game.
The Giants claim Game 1 11-7 and take a 1-0 World Series lead. Cliff Lee gets the first postseason loss of his career.
