Eric Hosmer (that's him here) delivered a sacrifice fly in the 14th inning as Alcides Escobar (who delivered a first-inning inside-the-park homer) scored the game-winning run on Tuesday night (Wednesday morning in Kansas City) as the Kansas City Royals took the opening game of the World Series, 5-4 over the visiting New York Mets.
Alex Gordon's solo home run in the ninth inning for the Royals forced extra innings.
It was the longest Game One in World Series history.
The Mets' Daniel Murphy's Major League Baseball record string of six consecutive post-season games with a home run came to an end.
