that's why toni >> hello everybody from kansas city. the last team to win a game seven world series on the road was the 1979 pittsburgh pirates and that is why tonight's game six for the giants was so critical. jake peavy has not pitched well. in fact, he has the highest post season earned run average for active pitchers and it showed in game six. a run was already in for kansas city in the second when escobar hit it to first. the unking unraveled from there. nori aoki lines it past pablo sandoval. 2-0, kansas city, and peavy hit the showers after getting four outs in the game.
11:29 pm
here comes petit. he could not stop the bleeding. the runs okay and blooped one behind second base and two more runs score making it 4-0 royals. and then, eric hosmer gets a weird hopper over brandon crawford. two more runs score. kansas city scored seven in tinning that lasted 35 minutes buster posey had a chance the cut into the lead in the third, but he jumped on the first pitch by ventura who was brilliant. that is an inning ending double play. and ventura was on cruise control from there. check out the fancy glove work on hunter pence's come backer. ventura, 23 years old goes seven scoreless innings allowing three hits. struck out four. the royals win 10-0 and force a decisive game seven. >> yeah. i don't know much that we would do different. >> reporter: it was the tale of the two pitchers, one great. >> you have a 23-year-old kid
11:30 pm
pitching the biggest game the stadium has seen if 29 years with our backs against the wall. and he goes out there in complete command of his emotions. >> made it difficult on the giants offense. >> he doesn't have pit location. he has great stuff. one of the greatest starters you will see in the game. >> reporter: and the other not so great. >> obviously, that inning was guys putting a bat on the ball. if we didn't strike to get out. it seemed like they hit it right where they needed to hit it. >> reporter: there was little to dissect in a 10-0 loss. attention immediately turned to tomorrow and the cold hard fact is that the cold team has won each of the last nine game seven world series. >> for baseball fans in general, it doesn't get much better. >> you know, i never thought two out, bases loaded bottom of the ninth game five. it was always game seven so it
11:31 pm
is special. >> reporter: if the giants break a historical trend, it will be up to tim hudson to do it. >> 16 years in the big leagues. i finally have that chance. and i'm really, really excited about it. i can't wait. i can't wait to get out there tomorrow and have some fun. >> reporter: the giants are 0-4 in winner take call games. goodnight from kansas city. ken and liz will wrap it up in a second.
