Game Recap

The New York Mets were the team that entered the World Series with their championship hopes pinned to their dominant starting pitchers.

Stephen Kiprotich won the gold medal in the men's marathon at the 2012 London Olympics with a time of two hours, eight minutes and one second. He could have ran the 26.2 miles twice at that pace and still had plenty of time to watch the end of Game 1 of the 2015 World Series.

Edinson Volquez and the Kansas City Royals shut down the Toronto Blue Jays offense, kicking off the American League Championship Series with a 5-0 win Friday.
