CHRIS BERMAN STYLE – ESPN SPORTSCENTER (RELOADED)
More nicknames, more bombs, more Berman!

Back, back, back, back... GONE to the Bay!
But not for the Giants… ohhh no, this time it was the Baltimore “Birds of Prey” Orioles who flapped and clapped their way to a Game 3 victory in the World Series, beating the San Francisco Giants 3–2 at Oracle Park and taking a 2-1 series lead!
��️ We start with the man who painted the corners like Picasso, Sal “Like the Pizza” Cantu!
Seven innings of gourmet stuff, just one earned run, and command so tight it made a drum jealous. He diced the Giants like sashimi at a Tokyo steakhouse.
And A.J. “No Relation to Thomas Jefferson” Jeoffrey? He slammed the door in the 8th and 9th. Two innings, one save, three straight zeros on the scoreboard. That’s closer material, baby!

�� But let’s not forget the first boom of the night... and it came in the third inning courtesy of Chris “The Bronx Bomber in Baltimore” Alfonso!
With one out and no one on, he sent a souvenir into the misty Bay air—a solo SHOT off Seth Beeman that rattled the crab traps.
BOOM goes the Alfonso-mite!
And later, with the game tied at 1–1 in the 8th...
Kazuhito “Kung Fu” Kawakami said "Hi-YA!" to the Giants' hopes with a clutch RBI single. He only went 1-for-4, but that hit?
Game-changer. Script-flipper. Kung Fu finisher.
�� Flip it over to the home squad—
The Giants had some sparks:
Benito “Can You Smell What He’s” Gargallo scored both runs, while Nate “The Natural” Moser came up big AGAIN with a clutch 2-out RBI double in the 8th to pull it close.
But Shamar “The Bee Man” Beeman, who looked buzzworthy through 7, ran into a sting in the 8th.
Enter Nico “Not the Velvet Underground” Gomez, who gave up 6 hits in two innings. And the lead? Poof. Gone. Like the fog over the Bay.
�� Giants left 6 on, grounded into two double plays, and couldn’t crack the Baltimore bullpen.
You can’t spell “clutch” without C-H, but tonight the Giants left the clutch in neutral.

��️ Game 4? That’s tomorrow at Oracle.
Will the Giants bounce back, or will the Orioles put ‘em in a chokehold and take a 3-1 strangle lead?
Stay tuned, folks.
But for now...
Orioles 3, Giants 2.

This bird?
It’s got launch codes.

I’m Chris Berman, and I’m Berman–OUTTA HERE! ����⚾
