St. Louis Cardinals vs. SF Giants Game 5
San Francisco will play the Kansas City Royals in the World Series, which begins Tuesday, Oct. 21 in Kansas City.Ishikawa, whose poor defensive play in left field allowed St. Louis to score its first run in the third, redeemed himself by crushing a 2-0 fastball just over the line in right-center field off St. Louis' Michael Wacha. Wacha had just walked Brandon Belt on four pitches, and Ishikawa was sitting on the heat.
After St. Louis took a 1-0 lead in the third, the Giants went up 2-1 in the bottom of the inning on a two-run homer by Joe Panik. The Cardinals re-took the lead in the fourth on solo homers by Matt Adams and Tony Cruz, and it stayed that way for a while with St. Louis' Adam Wainwright and San Francisco's Madison Bumgarner trading scoreless frames.
The Giants tied it in the eighth on a pinch-hit home run by Michael Morse, who led off the inning by roping a solo shot down the left field line after hitting for Bumgarner.
This is San Francisco's third World Series trip in five years, reaching it in 2010 and 2012.
