MLB World Series Game 1: Kansas City Royals Beat New York Mets in Epic Errors Fail!

Tuesday's World Series opener will probably be one of the most memorable World Series game in MLB history. The Royals beat the Mets in Game 1 all while facing a TV power outage during the longest World Series opener in history.

While Edinson Volquez faced the loss of his father, which caused him to leave right before the game ended and as Fox Sports suffered a power outage (which led to at-home viewers missing about 10 minutes of the game) the Royals managed to outrun the New York Mets' energy. This World Series was also the first World Series inside-the-park homer since 1929.

The Kansas City Royals, who lost the 2014 World Series against the San Francisco Giants, beat the New York Mets 5-4 in a 14-inning victory. They tied the score on Alex Gordon's one-out homer in the ninth off Jeursys Familia and after the Mets right fielder Curtis Granderson made an amazing catch in the 11^th inning, as they won the game when Alcides Escobar scored on Eric Hosmer's fly, as reported by Huffington Post.

This game lasted more than five hours, as it was tied for the longest, by innings, making it the longest game in World Series history. As reported by USA Today, Tuesday night's game was the eighth time in World Series history that a Game 1 went extra innings, as it occured for the second time in 38 years.

Although the Royals won the game, the victory was bittersweet for starter Edinson Volquez, as he received news of his father's death towards the end of the game. The loss of Volquez's father makes it the third tragedy the have Royals faced in the past two months.

Now, Volquez, who pitched three hitless innings, gave up a leadoff single to Daniel Murphy, which led to the Mets tying the score at 1 each, as reported by the New York Times. However, despite the Mets continuous energy, the Royals managed to outlast the Mets during the 5-hours-and-9-minutes long game.

Congrats to the Royals on their bittersweet win!
