It's been a wild three innings in Game 7 as both teams scored two runs in the second and the Giants knocked Tim Hudson from the box -- the first Game 7 starter since Bob Turley in 1960 to not last at least two innings.
With Jeremy Affeldt on in relief in the third, Lorenzo Cain led off with a line drive to right field following an impressive eight-pitch at-bat. Eric Hosmer then grounded a fastball up the middle that Joe Panik made a fabulous diving stop on and glove flipped to second. Brandon Crawford then completed the double play with Hosmer diving into first.
Hosmer was originally ruled safe, but after a long review of 2 minutes and 57 seconds, the play was overturned and Hosmer was ruled out (correctly, it appeared). How huge will Panik's play look by the end of the game?
Unbelievable play by Joe Panik. #Game7 pic.twitter.com/46k6T5qk1A

Great job sliding headfirst into second base, Cain. That's 100 times dumber than Hosmer doing it.
