“I don’t even know how many innings we played”, said the Mets’ David Wright, “but we expect it to be this way”.

It is not the first time a major US sporting event has been delayed because of a power problem.
” ‘It’s time for you to do your part – everyone else on the team has been stepping up, doing what they can to win this ballgame, ‘ ” said Hosmer, recalling his interior monologue.
The Mets took a 4-3 lead in the eighth inning on an error by Hosmer, but tied the game in the bottom of the ninth of normally rick-solid New York closer Jeurys Familia, when Alex Gordon took Familia deep for the closer’s first blown save since July 30.
But along with it came the feeling that possibly a great World Series has just begun.
But those heartbreaks gave Yost the opening he needed to confide in Young, the right-hander scheduled to start in New York in Saturday’s game four. He served up just six in 78 innings during the regular season. “So we were all shocked by it”.
“We’re so sorry about the outage in KC”, Google said.
He said that the video feed affected the New York-based review booth’s ability to check plays as well as the telecast of the game.
Edinson Volquez’s father, Daniel, died at the age of 63 Tuesday in the Dominican Republic.
The 11-year veteran appeared to warm up as if nothing was amiss on a misty evening in Kansas City, then marched stoically to the mound to start the game as the crowd roared. We saw that pitch, up, out over the plate… Bill Somebody, let a ball get by him and the Mets lost a game when they were an out away from winning it all.
“I was keeping my eye on him and he was fine”.
He pitched six innings, allowing three runs on six hits.
With chants of “Eddie!”
Harvey was in a good spot – a final out and he would have the lead after six innings.
Moustakas’ mother, Connie, died on August. 9, her son staying with the team on what he considered her wishes.
The Mets knotted things up, 1-1, in the top of the fourth when Travis d’Arnaud scorched a one-hopper to third that plated Daniel Murphy. He connected on Volquez’s 95 miles per hour sinker for his first home run of this postseason. Curtis Granderson would score the Mets’ second run of the night when he blasted a 375-foot solo homer to right and Michael Conforto plated Cespedes on a sac fly to left to put Mets run No. 3 across.
But then the Royals put on a vintage comeback effort in the bottom of the sixth and scored two runs off an Eric Hosmer sacrifice fly and a Mike Moustakas RBI single to tie the game.
Edinson Volquez throws a pitch in the first inning Tuesday.
So it came down to the 14th inning, nobody out, the bases loaded. The two converged on the ball, and Conforto thought he heard Cespedes call for the ball and pulled up. But Cespedes misplayed the ball, and it bounced off his lower right leg. “Tonight they were just a little more relentless”. He is 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in three postseason outings – all away from home.
Royals manager Ned Yost dispelled initial reports that Volquez learned about his dad’s death on the way to the stadium, telling a press conference after his win over the Mets that the news had been withheld.
“I’ve actually enjoyed pitching on the road in the postseason”. If they leave Kansas City with a split before they head to New York for three games, they will have cleansed the bad taste of the Game 1 loss. He also used a few choice words that can’t be repeated here.

“I come up with these different kinds of windups because of the rhythm that I feel is going to be effective on that particular pitch”.
