Through two games, we’ve seen them battle back against Mets closer Jeurys Familia and later steal Game 1, and we’ve seen them knock around Jacob deGrom to hold serve at Kauffman Stadium and take a quick 2-0 lead in the series.

So how has Kansas City’s staff been able to neutralize Murphy?
The rating was up 22 per cent from the 7.3/12 for San Francisco’s 7-1 romp over Kansas City in the first game last year and the viewers were up 22 per cent from last year’s 12.2 million.
Kansas City was the highest-rated market at 57.3 – the highest in any market for an opener since at least 1996.
After starting almost all season, Jonathon Niese and Bartolo Colon are now in New York’s bullpen.
The rating is the percentage of television homes tuned to a broadcast, and the share is the percentage watching among households with TVs on at the time.
A 90-year-old Royals fan gets the chance of a lifetime to attend his first set of World Series games thanks to the generosity of two fellow Royals fans.
His name was being chanted at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday night, too. That said, his velocity has remained within a characteristic range, and he’ll be making his Game 2 start on seven days’ rest. New York’s young pitching will be tested to the max by a patient KC offense that is the best in baseball at hitting the fastball. “We just have to concentrate on one at a time”, Wright said.
A possible trade with the Brewers for Carlos Gomez had shortstop Wilmer Flores crying and the Mets front office looking like it didn’t even know what was going on.
“She has already kind of let me know that if we’re in the middle of a game, she’s probably not going to tell me anything that’s going on”, Zobrist said.
Julianna, a Christian music singer, has taken a light-hearted approach to the matter. She tweeted during Game 1, “If anything were to happen I would just take a selfie of me and the baby and text it to Ben after the game!”
One that looked nothing like he did in his last postseason start, when Cueto surrendered eight runs against Toronto in the AL Championship Series.
Volquez plans to rejoin the team when it heads to New York later in the week.
Daniel Volquez, 63, died of heart failure Tuesday. “I’m not going to say somebody else’s”. “Family is more important than baseball”.
The same could be said about Cueto at one point, but he’s been wildly inconsistent the last three months with the Royals, including three starts in the playoffs.
The Royals and Mets have a day off Thursday. The slugging outfielder carried New York’s offense after being acquired on July 31, but entered the World Series at far less than one-hundred percent because of a shoulder ailment.

Country music singer Sara Evans is scheduled to perform the national anthem, while a trio of Medal of Honor recipients will throw out ceremonial first pitches. Sure they got an inning of Wade Davis, but they also saw Danny Duffy, Luke Hochevar, Ryan Madson and three innings of Game 4 starter Chris Young.
