With the series tied 1-1, this is going to get a lot more interesting than first predicted.
After game 1 of the 2014 World Series, critics thought the Royals were down and out, being overpowered by the Giants. That is until after game 2 ended in favor of Kansas City 7-2. It was almost an identical win margin that San Francisco had in Game 1 (7-1), but led by heavy hitting and a 5-run 6th inning, the Royals held out for a crucial win at home. The series heads over to the Bay Area for Game 3 on Friday night at 1:05am (UK time) and fans are ready for a battle.
Keys to Victory
Royals - Kansas City’s bullpen looked unstoppable in Game 2, holding San Francisco to only two runs, while their offense was too strong for the visiting team. The Giants thought it was going to be an easy series with the underdog Royals back in their first World Series since 1985. The Giants won the Fall Classic in 2010 and again in 2012, but seem to have received more than they bargained for this year.
For the Royals to hold on to their winning ways, they need to keep their pitching staff healthy and well-rested, easier said than done against the usually heavy hitting of the Giants.
Giants - San Francisco was shocked in Game 2. They tried everything they had, but the Royals were just too strong playing in front of a sold out Kauffman Stadium. If the Giants want to get back on track for Game 3 they need to get back on the ball and take advantage of their sluggers like Hunter Pence, Joe Panik, Buster Posey, Pablo Sandoval, Pablo Sandoval, and Michael Morse.
