It's the team's first title since 1985 — and only the second in franchise history. The final game featured a stunning extra-innings turnaround. It started as a pitchers' duel: The Mets' Matt Harvey against Kansas City's Edinson Volquez. The 12-inning game started Sunday evening In New York and stretched into early Monday. The Royals blew open the game with five runs in the 12th inning. For the second time in the series, the Mets and the Royals had to go extra innings to settle things. Game 1 had gone on for 14 innings, the longest Game 1 in World Series history. This was also the first World Series with multiple extra-inning games since Catcher Salvador Perez of the Royals was voted most valuable player.
