San Francisco Giants beat Kansas City Royals in World Series

The San Francisco Giants beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 on Wednesday to win their third World Series title in five Major League Baseball seasons.

With the win, the Giants completed a 4-3 series win over the Royals in the best-of-seven championship, adding a third title to their brilliant every-other-year pattern of post-season success dating back to 2010.

Michael Morse drove in a pair of runs and ace Madison Bumgarner came out of the bullpen to carry his the Giants to victory with five innings of scoreless relief.

A raucous Kauffman Stadium and history were in the Kansas City corner ahead of the game as the home team had won the last nine World Series that went to a game seven, including the 1985 Royals.

But the Giants, who were hammered 10-0 Tuesday’s game six, bounced back to become the first road team to win a World Series game seven on the road since the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates.
