KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Madison Bumgarner is ready to pitch in for Game 7.

The biggest World Series ace of all plans to be in the bullpen Wednesday night, just in case the San Francisco Giants need him against the Kansas City Royals for an out or two.

Or possibly a few more.

Asked how many pitches he could throw in relief, MadBum tossed out a playful estimate: “I said maybe 200.”

From the outset Tuesday night in Game 6, there was little doubt this Series was headed to the limit.
