Giants' Belt 'tinkled a little bit' after Blanco's 9th-inning error
San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt likely hurried to change his pants after his club's 3-2 victory in Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday. And it probably had nothing to do with the champagne that soaked the visitor's clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium.
The 26-year-old admitted he momentarily lost control of his bladder when Gregor Blanco allowed Alex Gordon's single to sneak past him in the ninth inning, putting the tying run at third base.

Blanco's gaffe proved inconsequential, though, as Madison Bumgarner induced a foul popout off the bat of Salvador Perez moments later to end the game, lifting the Giants to their third World Series title since 2010.
