Keep the champagne on ice...
The Rays found themselves the unusual victims of a shutout as the Giants kept the World Series going by taking a 2-0 win at Oracle Park. Tampa Bay outhit San Francisco 9-3, but 8 of the 9 hits were singles, Doug Johns grounded into a pair of key double plays, and Tony Cordova was thrown out at the plate. Greg Bookhart meanwhile was as great as ever, giving up only one run on one hit through 5 2/3, but he would have had to have been perfect. Gordie Ager will give the whole clinching thing another shot tomorrow in Game 5.
