MVP:
Madison Bumgarner
Why the Giants won: Too much Madison Bumgarner. The Giants' lefty held the Royals to three hits in seven innings in Game 1, tossed a complete-game shutout in Game 5, and then got the save in five innings of shutout relief in Game 7.
Why the Royals lost: Simply put, they had no answer for Bumgarner. Overall, they went 9-for-74 (.122) against him, with their only run coming on a Salvador Perez solo HR in Game 1.
Memorable moment: Bumgarner walking in from the bullpen in Game 7. When he entered the game, it was lights out for the Royals.
Key stat: 0.43. Bumgarner's Series ERA. Overall, he has a best-ever 0.25 ERA in the Fall Classic.
