The New York Mets were defeated by
the Kansas City Royals on Sunday night in game five of the World Series. The game took place at Citi Field in
Flushing, New York and the final score was 7-2 in 12 innings. Matt Harvey started for the Mets and pitched
brilliantly but couldn't finish the job as he convinced his manager to let him
out for the ninth and then blew the game.
The Mets offense only managed four hits with two of them coming from
Michael Conforto.
Harvey pitched 8+ innings giving up
five hits and two runs with two walks and nine strikeouts. Jeurys Familia pitched two innings with two
strikeouts and got charged with his third blown save of the series even though
I wouldn't put this one on him. Jon
Niese pitched an inning giving up a hit, Addison Reed pitched 1/3 of an inning
giving up three hits and five runs with four of them being earned and he walked
one. Bartolo Colon pitched 2/3 of an
inning giving up a hit.
Edinson Volquez pitched six innings
giving up two hits and two runs with one of them being earned. He walked five and struck out five. Kelvin Herrera pitched three innings giving
up a hit and striking out three, Luke Hochevar won the game pitching two
innings and walking one and Wade Davis pitched an inning giving up a hit and
striking out three.
Curtis Granderson had a hit, an RBI
and drew a walk, David Wright had a hit and Daniel Murphy drew two walks. Lucas Duda had an RBI and drew two walks,
Conforto had two hits and Wilmer Flores drew a walk. Granderson hit a homerun and the Mets were
0-5 with runners in scoring position and left six men on base. Wright and Murphy each committed an
error.
Alcides Escobar had a hit, an RBI,
Ben Zobrist had a hit and drew a walk and Lorenzo Cain had two hits and three
RBI with a walk. Eric Hosmer had two
hits and an RBI, Mike Moustakas had a hit and Salvador Perez had a hit and an
RBI. Alex Gordon drew a walk, Christian
Colon had a hit and an RBI and Volquez had a hit. Hosmer, Escobar and Cain each hit a double. The Royals were 4-11 with runners in scoring
position and left seven men on base.
Cain had two stolen bases and Hosmer and Dyson each had one. Hosmer committed an error.
In the first Granderson hit a solo
homerun giving the Mets a 1-0 lead. In
the sixth Duda hit a sac fly to make it a 2-0 game. In the ninth Hosmer hit an RBI double to cut
the lead to 2-1. Perez hit an RBI
groudnout to tie the game at two. It was
a crazy play as Hosmer sprinted home as Wright threw to first base to get the
out, a good throw would of nailed him and won the game for the Mets sending it
back to Kansas City but that didn't happen.
In the 12th Colon hit an RBI single to give the Royals their first lead
at 3-2, Escobar hit an RBI double to make it 4-2 and Cain hit a three run
double to push the lead to 7-2 which would be the final score of the game. The World Series ended in five games although
it was very competitive and the Mets had the lead in every game. The Kansas City Royals are your 2015 World
Series Champions after falling last year in game seven of the World
Series. We put a wrap on another great
MLB season and postseason and look forward to spring training 2016.
