The Major League Baseball Playoffs have been remarkable this year. The San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals were both Wild Card teams, and met in the World Series.
The Royals opened the Playoffs with an extra-inning victory over the Athletics. They continued by rolling over the Tigers and Orioles.
The Giants also had a fairly simple road to the World Series, shutting out the Pirates and losing two games against the Cardinals and Nationals combined.
Momentum was continuously swayed between the Giants and Royals in the World Series. The Giants stole game one in Kansas City 7-1, but the Royals responded by winning the next two. The Giants blew out the Royals the next two games, and the Royals returned the favor to force game seven.
Both teams scored two runs in the second inning, but the Giants took the 3-2 lead in the fourth. Madison Bumgarner came in half way through the game and was clutch, pitching the rest of the game and allowing zero runs.
This marks the third time in five years that the Giants have won the World Series.
