Lewis allowed just two runs over 7 2/3 innings, striking out six and giving up five hits. Relievers Darren O'Day and Neftali Feliz got the final four outs -- and the Rangers had a power revival, hitting their first two home runs of the World Series -- to give Texas the 4-2 win in Game 3.
With the victory -- the first World Series game the Rangers have ever hosted -- Texas cut San Francisco's series lead to 2-1. Lewis, the unflappable Rangers starter who for the past two seasons pitched for the Hiroshima Carp of Japan's Central League, improved to 3-0 with a 2.11 ERA in four postseason starts. Each of his wins has come after a Texas loss, perhaps adding to the fans' roar of appreciation when he left the game.
" It's an unbelievable feeling," Lewis said. "I get goose bumps thinking about it right now."
