HOUSTON -- The most recent addition to the Red Sox lineup made a big contribution. Dave Casper Jersey . Rookie Christian Vazquez got his first three major league hits and drove in three runs, while David Ortiz had three RBIs to break open the game in the sixth inning and lead Boston over the Houston Astros 8-3. Vazquez, who was playing in his second big league game, singled in the third inning, had an RBI double in the fourth and drove home two more with a double in a five-run sixth. Fellow rookie Brock Holt doubled and tripled with an RBI and another rookie, Jackie Bradley Jr., added two hits for Boston. "Were playing with a lot of energy," manager John Farrell said. "Guys that have come up recently have injected some of that into us, but more than anything were getting the timely hit." Vazquez was thrilled about his big night and shared the first thing he thought of after collecting his first hit. "My mom," he said. "I was laughing and very happy about that." Ortiz drove in three runs with a double in the sixth to make it 8-1. "The thing that stood out was the number of extra-base hits that (have) been somewhat elusive," Farrell said. "David with a big bases-loaded RBI double, Christian Vazquez with a very solid night all the way around ... just a good offensive showing." John Lackey (10-6) rebounded from a tough stretch to allow four hits and two runs with a season-high five walks in six innings. He had allowed five or more runs in each of his previous three starts. Scott Feldman (4-6) allowed seven runs and tied a season-high with 11 hits in 5 1-3 innings. "It just looks like there is not a lot of finish," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "When he was really good early on in the year, there was finish to the fastball, there was late life, there was sharpness to the breaking ball." Houstons Chris Carter homered twice for his fourth multihomer game of the season and his second this week. He extended his hitting streak to a career-high seven games. Daniel Nava and Bradley got things going for the Red Sox in the sixth with consecutive singles. Feldman intentionally walked Stephen Drew to load the bases with one out. Vazquezs double made it 5-1 and chased Feldman. He was replaced by Darin Downs, who walked Holt to load the bases again. Ortizs bases-clearing double to right-centre came next. Holts RBI triple, which bounced off the bullpen in right-centre and away from L.J. Hoes, gave Boston a 1-0 lead in the third. Dustin Pedroia followed with a double to the corner of left field to make it 2-0. Drew tripled with two outs in the fourth inning before scoring on a ground-rule double by Vazquez to push the lead to 3-0. Lackey walked two batters through the first three innings and two more in the fourth before Houston got its first hit on an RBI single by Enrique Hernandez that cut the lead to 3-1 with two outs. Carters 18th home run landed in the first row in the Crawford Boxes in left field to cut the lead to 8-2 in the sixth. Hes the first Astro to have at least 18 homers in the first half of the season in consecutive years since Lance Berkman in 2008-09. Soon after Carter returned to the dugout following his homer, and as the Astros were still celebrating, a foul ball hit by Robbie Grossman sailed into the dugout and came within inches of hitting Carter in the face. He dropped to the ground after it flew by as his teammates shook their heads at the close call. "I just heard heads up (and) it came right at my head," he said. "I moved, and it hit the wall." He homered again on his next at-bat, launching a 91 mph fastball to left field, where it clanged off the foul pole to make it 8-3 in the eighth and give him six homers in his last seven games. NOTES: Astros OF George Springer was scratched about an hour before the game with discomfort in his right knee. He is listed as day to day. ... Houston LHP Brett Oberholtzer will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start on Saturday against Jake Peavy. He will start in place of Collin McHugh, who is dealing with a finger blister. Lyle Alzado Jersey . The shortstop still grieves, but it will be nights like the one Segura had in a 5-2 victory Monday over the Cincinnati Reds that will provide some distraction. George Blanda Jersey . Jagr had a goal and two assists, Andy Greene scored 43 seconds into overtime and Marek Zidlicky had two goals as the Devils rallied past the Washington Capitals 5-4 Saturday night. http://www.cheapraidersjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-tim-brown-jersey . Top-ranked Rafael Nadal was also taken to three sets but emerged with a 6-3, 6-7 (3), 6-3 win over Tobias Kamke of Germany, while second-seeded David Ferrer joined Murray in making an early exit after a 6-4, 7-5 loss to Daniel Brands of Germany.SAN FRANCISCO -- With every pitch, Madison Bumgarner etched his place among the World Series greats. The long, tall lefty kept slinging away and put the San Francisco Giants just one win from yet another championship, throwing a four-hitter to beat the Kansas City Royals 5-0 Sunday night for a 3-2 Series edge. Hardly menacing on the mound, Bumgarner was simply untouchable -- again. As MVP! MVP! chants broke out from each packed corner of AT&T Park, Bumgarner finished off the first World Series shutout in 11 years. You know what? For some reason, I keep getting really lucky this time of year, so Ill take it, Bumgarner said. It must be more than luck. Because by the time the 25-year-old from Hickory, North Carolina, outdid his own winning performance in Game 1, he had evoked memories of Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax, Curt Schilling and the top October aces of all-time. Very humbling, Bumgarner said. He certainly joined those names, and maybe even exceeded them. Who else has gone 4-0 in four World Series starts with an 0.29 ERA? Throw in only 12 hits in 31 innings, along with 27 strikeouts, and that math makes him the very definition of Big Game Pitcher. Hes special, isnt he? manager Bruce Bochy said during a quiet moment in his office eating dinner. What a stud. Giants Hall of Fame pitcher Juan Marichal mingled in the clubhouse, too, waiting his turn to congratulate the guy with the curly, stringy hair. Hes so smooth. I say that hes cold-blooded. When hes on the mound, he dominates everybody. Everybody, Marichal said. On this evening, Bumgarner fanned eight without a walk and never was in trouble as he constantly changed speeds, with no runners reaching third base. There hadnt been a shutout in the Series since Josh Becketts clinching gem for the Florida Marlins in 2003 at Yankee Stadium. The Giants work isnt done. To add to the crowns Bumgarner helped them take in 2010 and 2012, theyll need to win in Kansas City. Were looking forward to getting back to our home crowd, where its going to be absolutely wild and crazy, Royals manager Ned Yost said. Jake Peavy gets the first chance to seal it for San Francisco when he starts Game 6 at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday night against rookie Yordano Ventura. If the Giants dont win then, there is always this possibility: Bumgarner said hes ready to come out of the bullpen in Game 7. Hunter Pence once again was in the middle of things for Giants. He singled off James Shields in the second and scored on a groundout by Brandon Crawford, who had three RBIs. Later, the enigmatic Pence accidentally threw his bat past the mound while striking out, and appeared to apologize to Shields. Pence added another hit inn a three-run eighth, making him 9 for 19 in the five games. Foster Moreau Jersey. Post-season star Pablo Sandoval also singled twice. Juan Perez broke it open with a two-run double off the top of the centre-field fence in the eighth against Wade Davis and scored on a single by Crawford. Since trailing 4-1 in Game 4, the Giants have responded with 15 straight runs. San Francisco won that game, putting aside concern that Bumgarner shouldve been moved up to pitch on short rest. Bumgarner won for the fourth time against one loss in this post-season, and this blanking bookended the four-hit shutout he threw at Pittsburgh in the NL wild-card game. Durable, hes thrown 47 2-3 innings this October, trailing just Schillings 48 1-3 in 2001 for the most in a single post-season, with a 1.13 ERA. As Bumgarner wrapped up the win, his name echoed around the ballpark. That was pretty cool, actually. It was really neat to hear, he said. Toward the late innings, it appeared that only a lightning strike could rescue the Royals, perhaps a home run out of nowhere. Not happening -- this was the third straight game without either team hitting a homer, the longest streak in the World Series since 1948 when the Boston Braves and Cleveland began with a three-game drought, STATS said. Exactly why the man nicknamed MadBum is so dominant isnt easily apparent. Royals cleanup hitter Eric Hosmer said before the game that Bumgarners cross-body delivery is tough to pick up. The 6-foot-5 Bumgarner definitely has an impressive whip, along with an imposing WHIP in the World Series. His walks-plus-hits ratio per inning is incredible. About the only thing Bumgarner didnt do well was get a hit. He takes pride in his plate prowess and launched four home runs this season, including two grand slams. Bumgarner went 0 for 4, leaving him hitless in 22 post-season at-bats. Yep, hes still got some work to do. UP NEXT Royals: Ventura will become the fourth rookie to start twice in a Series since 2000, joining John Lackey, Justin Verlander and Michael Wacha. Giants: Peavy started in the World Series last year for the champion Boston Red Sox. He took the loss last week in Game 2, and is 1-4 with a 7.05 ERA in eight career post-season starts. STATS Of the 41 previous instances the World Series was tied at 2 in the best-of-seven format, the Game 5 winner won the title 27 times. ... Bumgarners ERA is the lowest in World Series history for pitchers with at least 25 innings. Jack Billingham is next at 0.36. Among the leaders are Babe Ruth (0.87) and Mariano Rivera (0.99). ... Since 1982, teams down 3-2 going home for Games 6 and 7 have won eight of 10 World Series -- including the Royals in 1985.
