In the top of the fourth inning, Lance Lynn finally gave up a hit. And then he gave up a lot more than that.
In the first three innings of Game 5, Lynn held the Giants hitless while racking up five strikeouts. In the fourth, though, Marco Scutaro and Pablo Sandoval opened with singles, Scutaro stopping at second. Lynn responded by striking out Buster Posey for the second time in the game. Then Hunter Pence chopped an easy grounder to Lynn.
Lynn gave the Giants a run, and the lead:
Shortstop Pete Kozma was late getting to second base, which probably rattled Lynn and caused the low throw, which caromed off the bag. Scutaro scored easily, Sandoval went to third, and Pence was safe at first on the error.
Lynn got Brandon Belt on a little pop, but walked Gregor Blanco to load the bases. And suddenly, Lynn was in a huge jam and Joe Kelly was getting loose in the bullpen.
He wouldn't escape the jam. After falling behind Brandon Crawford, Lynn worked the count full before Crawford sent a grounder up the middle for a two-run single.
Finally, a respite: Barry Zito was due next. No problem. Oh, except Zito had another idea and he executed that idea with absolute perfection:
Just as in Game 1 of this series, Lynn got knocked out by the Giants with two outs in the fourth inning.
All four runs off Lynn were unearned, but that must be small solace, considering who made the error that led to all of them.
Joe Kelly did indeed come into the game, and struck out Angel Pagan to strand two Giants.
Heading to the bottom of the fourth, it's Giants 4, Cardinals 0.

Bistro on Cinders
Behind the post office, this plain brick building with a little courtyard houses a fantastic eatery. It's contemporary but not pretentious – have a quick coffee or sit around all night admiring the groovy chandeliers and artwork.
Behind the post office, this plain brick building with a little courtyard houses a fantastic eatery. It's contemporary but not pretentious – have a quick coffee or sit around all night admiring the groovy chandeliers and artwork.
This popular spot is in addition to the original and truly excellent Dangar St coffee haunt. It has indoor and outdoor tables and some menu surprises such as snails in mushrooms caps with Pernod and hazelnut butter.
For a real slice of Aussie culture, try the bistro at the West Tamworth League Club. It's noisy, you have to sign in for a temporary membership and pass the poker machines to reach the bistro, but the food's good – we enjoyed the roast pumpkin and haloumi salad and the barramundi served on a lemon myrtle mash – and it's great for kids.
A rather plain exterior belies the fun interior of this excellent food and coffee option. The menu is a cut above, with wagyu burgers and Vietnamese prawn salads, or just sip on a wine while flicking through magazines and newspapers on a long communal table. Call ahead for occasional dinners.
Armidale's telltale blue-grey bricks are still in place but the White Bull hasn't been shy giving the interior a makeover. This is a pub worthy of a bit of lippy, with couches for chilling, a bar with boutique beers and a bistro menu that rises above the usual pub grub.
Heritage colours and a 1930s design make this one of Tamworth's more aesthetically pleasing pubs. Choose from a formal dining area with white tablecloths and shiny glasses, or the bistro/brasserie with chicken parma, steak sandwiches and roasts.
If the couches and coffee tables in this cafe don't help you kick back and relax then the long list of 'well-being' and 'relaxation' teas might. It also serves organic coffee, cake and a seasonal lunch menu.
With an emphasis on healthy and filling, this bright little cafe runs the gamut of salad-stuffed baguettes, wraps and sandwiches that go down a treat with smoothies and fresh juices.
A haunt not just for foodies, but for hungries too. This cafe has tables and shelves stocked with gourmet produce and a deli full of charcuterie and cheese. Breakfast doesn't get much better.
Established in 2008 'and still going strong' this cruisy cafe serves high-tin cakes, frittatas, gourmet pies ($5) and souvlaki lamb wraps ($9). The chai latte is quality, too.
Set in a lovely high-ceilinged heritage building, this casual place is as good for a coffee as an order of prime Scotch fillet or salt and pepper squid.
Decked out in all kinds of miscellany and memorabilia, this lively restaurant-bar is the perfect place to ingest a big bit of beef.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Notes Written Without NCAA Approval:
The treats arrived at my hotel room in Evanston, Ill., about 9 p.m. on Jan. 17, 1975, the evening before the top-ranked Indiana University basketball team played Northwestern.
In those days Indiana coach Bob Knight allowed the student newspaper reporter to travel with his team, and bed-check was punctuated with a plate of brownies and a glass of milk (pre-protein shake era).
Except these weren't hotel or grocery store brownies. They were made by Emily Krzyzewski.
Her son, Mike, was a graduate assistant coach for that IU team. He played for Knight at West Point. The family was based in Chicago. So whenever Mike was in town, she made certain everybody had treats – and Coach K made certain that included the student newspaper reporter as well as Quinn Buckner, Scott May, Kent Benson and the IU players.
I'm not certain I've had the opportunity to properly thank Coach K for the brownies – until this week.
Coach K's weekly radio show on Sirius/XM, called "Basketball and Beyond," resumes Thursday at 6 p.m. His primary guest is former Cincinnati Reds' Hall of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan.
It's a sure sign that college basketball season will begin moments after the World Series ends. Krzyzewski asked me to join him for a 12-minute talk about basketball in Kentuckiana, which remains a national hot spot with Kentucky and Louisville certain to start the season ranked in the top five.
We talked about UK, U of L and Indiana, the passion for the game in this area and the changes that have washed over college basketball in the last three decades. If you're a Sirius/XM subscriber, you can listen on Thursday at Channel 91. The show is also available on-line for subscribers at www.siriusxm.com/player. My interview is scheduled to begin around 6:40 p.m.
"My Mom treated Coach Knight better than me," Krzyzewski said. "She would always have stuff ready."
What I remember is that the brownies were delicious. And I thanked Coach K for that.
*Some interesting numbers from the folks at FoxSports:
Which college program has the most running backs in the NFL?
My first guess was Alabama? That was wrong. USC? Also wrong.
The answer is California – with five. The Bears also lead the NFL with the most former players at center – four.
The position breakdown by college is also dominated by Louisiana State. There are seven former LSU players at defensive tackle in the NFL and 11 at defensive back.
*Before he became one of the absolute best radio play-by-play men in the major leagues, John Rooney called the games for the Louisville Redbirds at old Cardinal Stadium.
Rooney worked here for two seasons before he got the promotion to the big leagues. He started with the Minnesota Twins and then moved to the Chicago White Sox. A Missouri native, Rooney returned home to the job of his dreams in 2006. He moved into the St. Louis Cardinals' radio booth with Mike Shannon.
The Cardinals, of course, are playing Boston in the 2013 World Series, which is televised on WDRB, Channel 41.
One day Rooney will be awarded the Ford Frick Award, which is presented to announcers inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. If the Cardinals win the World Series, Rooney will add another credential to his resume: It will be his fifth World Series ring.
He called games for the Twins in 1987, the White Sox in 2005 and the Cardinals in 2006 and 2011. This will be one for the thumb.

Chile bans toys in kids mealsFriday, August 03, 2012
SANTIAGO, Chile - A new law in Chile aims to take some of the fun out of fast-food by forcing McDonald's, Burger King, KFC and other restaurants to stop including toys and other goodies with children's meals.
The companies are still using toys to draw in Chile's increasingly chubby children more than a month after the ban took effect on June 7, Senator Giudo Girardi said as he filed a formal complaint Wednesday with the health ministry.
"These businesses know that this food damages the health of children and they know that the law is in effect. They're using fraudulent and abusive means," Girardi said.
The complaint also targets makers of cereal, popsicles and other products that attract children with toys, crayons or stickers, as well as markets that sell the food.
If Chile's health ministry upholds his allegations, the companies could be forced to remove the goodies or face nominal fines.
The Associated Press left messages seeking reaction with spokesmen for McDonald's, Burger King Worldwide and KFC's owner, Yum Brands.
Girardi said he wrote the law because nearly a quarter of Chile's six-year-olds now suffer from childhood obesity — and that its passage came despite seven years of industry lobbying.
"These corporations threatened that if the law was approved there would be no more money for children's foundations, the sick, or athletes, but we were finally able to create a great alliance between the civil society and scientists to defeat these lobbyists," the senator said.
McDonald's Happy Meals — marketed as "Cajitas Felices" in Spanish — have been a major draw for four-year-old Florencia Moraga, who was playing with her Ice Age movie toys Wednesday night with her father Ricardo at a restaurant in downtown Santiago.
"I loooove McDonald's because of the toys in the Happy Meal!" Florencia said.
Moraga said he takes his daughter every two weeks to the fast-food chain, but would not come back if she becomes overweight.
"She's healthy, skinny, but a kid with obesity was just sitting next to us. If I were his father I wouldn't bring him here," he said.
The Washington-based Center for Science in the Public Interest sued McDonalds over using toys to market its food to children in 2010, but the claim was dismissed in April. San Francisco banned restaurants last year from providing toys along with meals high in fat, salt, and sugar, but McDonalds has continued providing toys there by charging consumers a small fee for the goodies.

Los Angeles, CA – Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43) released the following statement today regarding the California Department of Industrial Relations' Division of Occupation Safety and Health's (Cal/OSHA) announcement to fine Menzies Aviation $77,250 following an investigation into the February death of an employee at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX):
"I applaud the announcement by Cal/OSHA to fine Menzies Aviation $77,250 for several safety violations uncovered during its investigation into the death of airport worker Cesar Valenzuela. I find it deeply disturbing that these violations may have contributed to Mr. Valenzuela's death.
"Cal/OSHA determined that Menzies employees have been subject to unsafe working conditions at LAX. According to reports, Menzies was fined nearly $95,000 in 2013 for unsafe practices at LAX including the type of violations that if not fixed could result in the death of a worker. The airport administration and the airlines must take responsibility for maintaining safe working conditions at LAX.
"We cannot continue to allow companies like Menzies to operate in an unsafe manner at LAX, putting both workers and passengers at risk. The traveling public and employees that work at LAX deserve better. Airport workers should be able to do their jobs without the fear of losing their lives.
"Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), the operator of LAX, has been investing in structural improvements to attract domestic and international travelers and help maintain the airport's standing as an economic engine for the region. But the best way for LAX to be a world class airport is to put safety first. It's time for the leadership at LAX to step up and show their commitment to holding airline contractors accountable. I see no reason why LAWA should continue contracting with Menzies Aviation, which has been fined and cited on more than one occasion for unsafe practices."

Sacramento - President Barack Obama will take his rightful place in California textbooks under legislation signed today by Governor Jerry Brown. AB 1912 authored by Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena), will be the first step toward acknowledging President Obama's legacy for generations to come. The measure enjoyed overwhelming, bi-partisan support as it made its way through the legislative process this year.
"I am very grateful to Governor Brown for signing this important legislation and to the lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who agreed that this presidency should not be relegated to a footnote in textbooks," said Assemblymember Holden. "We want to make sure that future generations understand that the election of our nation's first African American President was a historic step in the effort towards equality and that previous elections involved intimidation and violence that prevented millions of African-Americans from voting."
AB 1912 asks the State Board of Education and the Instructional Quality Commission to include the significance of President Barack Obama's election in the state's history and social science standards for grades seven to twelve. The state's history-social science standards haven't been revised in nine years due largely to the state's fiscal crisis. The next review and adoption of instructional materials will not take place until the 2015-2016 school year.
"Just 145 years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, and only a generation removed from the civil rights struggles, President Obama's election represented the moment when all things seemed possible," concluded Holden.
