What was touted to be a pitchers' duel turned out to be more like batting practice. 

The San Francisco Giants used a six-run fifth inning to help claim an 11-7 victory over the visiting Texas Rangers in Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday night. 

More notably, the Giants roughed up Rangers' starter Cliff Lee, who has been flawless in his postseason career. Headed into Wednesday night's contest, Lee boasted a 7-0 postseason record along with a 1.26 ERA.
