Jeremy Guthrie pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning, Lorenzo Cain drove in Alcides Escobar (pictured) with an early run off Tim Hudson and made a pair of nifty catches, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Giants 3-2 on Friday night in San Francisco to take a 2-1 World Series lead. Cain’s RBI groundout three batters in put the Royals ahead, and Kansas City expanded its lead to 3-0 in the sixth. Kelvin Herrera, Brandon Finnegan, Wade Davis and Greg Holland, respectively, combined for four innings of hitless relief, the longest in a Series game in 22 years. Game 4 is Saturday night with Kansas City’s Jason Vargas facing San Francisco’s Ryan Vogelsong.
