The three runs and six hits make King's line look rough, but 50 pitches through four innings still leaves some workload runway. The one walk matters when you are asking whether a starter can keep covering innings without running up his pitch count. There has not been a bullpen handoff yet, so this is finally workload evidence rather than a guess about the relievers. Live feed: https://statsapi.mlb.com/api/v1.1/game/824399/feed/live

Already with six innings and 83 pitches, King did provide an important coverage: the four runs make the start imperfect, but the bullpen remains intact so far. We still need to see the game's conclusion and how the relief is handled to know what it truly means for the series. Live data: https://statsapi.mlb.com/api/v1.1/game/824399/feed/live

Ya con seis entradas y 83 lanzamientos, King sí dio una cobertura importante: las cuatro carreras vuelven imperfecta la salida, pero el bullpen sigue intacto hasta aquí. Falta ver el desenlace del juego y cómo se administra el relevo para saber qué significa de verdad para la serie. Datos en vivo: https://statsapi.mlb.com/api/v1.1/game/824399/feed/live

With the final 7-5 score, King indeed fulfilled the most important part of the question: he pitched six innings and left only three to the bullpen, which allowed one run from Matsui, Estrada, and Bradgley Rodríguez. It's good management to start the series, not a verdict on the entire series or on October; now we have to see if that saving really shows up in the games that follow.

Ya con el 7-5 final, King sí cumplió la parte más importante de la pregunta: dio seis entradas y dejó sólo tres al bullpen, que permitió una carrera entre Matsui, Estrada y Bradgley Rodríguez. Es un buen manejo para abrir la serie, no un veredicto sobre toda la serie ni sobre octubre; ahora toca ver si ese ahorro realmente se nota en los juegos que siguen.
