World Series Game 5, Giants Vs. Rangers: Cliff Lee Off To Good Start

This being the final home game of the season for the Texas Rangers one way or another, the fans and their towels are out in full force. There's a very boisterous atmosphere in Arlington, and everyone in attendance just wants to see Cliff Lee dominate and the Rangers send this thing back to San Francisco with their hopes still very much alive.

And after all the pregame festivities were complete, Lee came out to the mound and did his first job. He opened against Andres Torres and struck him out swinging on a curveball in the dirt.

The next batter was Freddy Sanchez, and Lee jammed him, breaking his bat and inducing a routine grounder to the left side. Just like that, the Giants had two down.

In stepped Buster Posey, and Posey was able to line Lee's first pitch over the head of Ian Kinsler and into right field. That gave the Giants their first baserunner, and the faintest hint of a threat. But then Cody Ross came up and popped out in the infield, and we're going to the bottom of the first with Lee having kept his opponent off the board.
