SAN FRANCISCO - His throwing motion is weird, his swing is awkward, his tongue hangs out when he chases flyballs.Whatever hes doing, wide-eyed Hunter Pence often looks out of whack.Which makes the San Francisco right fielder a perfect fit for the quirky ballpark and spirited crowds at home in the World Series. His personality and production make him real popular on the Giants, too.I mean, hes the guy thats a vocal leader on the team, and he gets guys fired up, rookie second baseman Joe Panik said.And with his play, hes all-out and gives everything hes got. Its spectacular to watch. Hes fun to watch. Hes really big to this team. Hes in the middle of a lot of things, offensively and defensively, he said.Pence came through again Saturday, getting three hits and driving in three runs as the Giants surged past the Kansas City Royals 11-4, tying the Series at two games apiece. Game 5 was set for Sunday at AT&T Park.Pence certainly isnt the model for how a Little League coach would teach a youngster to play. Yet there is no contesting his results.Through four games, hed gone 7 for 15 and was hitting .467, best among Series regulars. He led with five RBIs, too, and had scored four runs.Overall, Pence has reached base safely in 17 straight post-season games, dating to when the Giants won the 2012 championship.If I was to say the keys to my success, trying not to do too much sometimes, he said. I think I had struggles when I was younger, and I still have a lot to learn and get better.Wherever he goes, be it to and from the ballpark on his favourite motor scooter or otherwise, he attracts attention. With a face full of hair, hes hard to miss.Fans at every ballpark where he plays come with signs. Unusual ones.In Game 1 at Kansas City, Pences homer almost landed between two of them — Hunter Pence is a Gatherer and Hunter Pence Thinks Hes in Kansas.Giants post-season ace Madison Bumgarner said hes glad Pence is on his side.It would be hard to imagine him being a better teammate, the pitcher said.Pence was busy in Game 4. Batting cleanup, the bushy-haired Texan scored twice and punctuated his big plays with whoops. In the ninth inning, he made a fine grab to take away a hit from Lorenzo Cain.Moments later, the game was over.His swings, shouts and sliding catch all done, Pence shuttled from one postgame TV interview to another outside the San Francisco dugout, bumping through a crush of people with every step.Eventually, he wound up standing smack in the middle of a giant World Series logo. A fitting spot, for sure.Getting to play deep into October wasnt the plan Pence drew up in February. Back then, and now, he said he takes a more basic approach.I even go back to just my goals in spring training, literally my goals are to play each game as hard as I can to win, he said. Thats what I write down when Im writing down my goals for the season.I want to give every single game everything I have to win. And the rest, the numbers will take care of themselves. So I try to focus that simplified. Darryl Strawberry Jersey . - In about six minutes, the Memphis Grizzlies had allowed their 23-point lead to be cut to seven. Jacob deGrom Jersey .

SHANGHAI, China -- Luke Guthrie handled another day of strong wind and kept his distance in the BMW Masters with a 1-under 71, giving the American a four-shot lead going into the weekend of his first golf tournament in Asia. Guthrie never let anyone get closer than two shots at Lake Malaren on Friday, and he started to pull away with a 20-foot birdie that broke three ways on the 17th. But he misjudged the speed of the 18th green on a long chip and narrowly missed a 10-foot par putt on the final hole. That put him at 8-under 136, four shots clear of six players. Ricardo Gonzalez didnt make a bogey until the final hole and still had a 67, the lowest round of the day. Also in a tie for second were Scott Jamieson (68), Paul Casey, Thongchai Jaidee and Craig Lee, who each shot 70. Simon Dyson, also tied for second Friday, was disqualified for a rules violation that was discovered Saturday morning. In the second round, he marked his ball just beyond the cup on No. 8. As he marked it, Dyson made a quick move to tamp down a spot on the green directly in his line. That violates Rule 16-1a. The infraction was pointed out to European Tour rules officials, who spoke to Dyson. Because he did not add the two-shot penalty, he was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard. The disqualification was a big blow to the Englishman. He was No. 66 on the money list. Only the top 60 are eligible for the final event in Dubai. John Daly showed plenty of power but couldnt make a putt in his round of 74, which included a double bogey-birdie-bogey finish. He was six shots behind. For two days, Guthries first big trip in golf has been more than he could have imagined. He closed with a 64 in Las Vegas to tie for fifth and flew straight to Shanghai, leaving him just enough time to get over jet lag and see the Jack Nicklaus design. He didnt bring enough warm clothes, but at least he brought his game. He received a sponsors exemption more than a month ago, wanting to broaden his experience and learn to become a global golfer. It already is paying off. The relentless wind brought a drop in temperatures, yet Guthrie played the round in short sleeves. "I should have looked (the weather) up about Shanghai before I came here," he said.dddddddddddd "I only have one sweater here. Im wearing blue and pink today, so Im kind of out there already. I didnt want to put a green sweater on top of it. So I just dealt with being a little cold." There has been nothing cold about his game. Guthrie made his first bogey of the tournament with a tee shot that left him against the lip of a fairway bunker on No. 5, and he had to knock it out to the fairway. He dropped another shot on the 10th, and hit a poor shot that left him in an impossible spot on the 12th. Everything else, however, was solid. He rolled in a 15-foot birdie on the 11th, got up-and-down behind the green on the par-5 15th for a birdie and hit 6-iron into 20 feet on the 17th. Two more days like this and he could be staying in China longer than he planned. The BMW Masters is the start of "The Final Series" on the European Tour, four tournaments with at least $7 million in prize money that concludes the Race to Dubai. Guthrie, coming off his rookie season on the U.S. PGA Tour, has no stake in that. A win, however, would make him eligible for the HSBC Champions next week in Shanghai, a World Golf Championship that counts toward the FedEx Cup on the U.S. circuit. Only 18 players in the 77-man field were under par, a testament to the tough conditions. Rafa Cabrera-Bello didnt expect to be among them until he ran off five straight birdies late in his round for a 68, leaving him five shots behind. Ian Poulter got back in the game until two late bogeys forced him to settle for a 69. Poulter was at 1-under 143, along with Rory McIlroy, who bogeyed the last hole for a 72, and Lee Westwood (71). Graeme McDowell, in his first event since getting married at the end of September, was trying to push his way up the leaderboard until he bogeyed three of his last five. "Its been very tough the last two days in the wind," Casey said. "These are not conditions I expected or wanted. But it makes a very good, difficult golf course even more so. Its a great test of golf, which is I guess what we want. This is the Final Series for us in Europe. Its meant to be difficult."
