The Kansas City Royals defeated the New York Mets 7-2 to win the World Series early Monday. This is the team’s first World Series title since 1985.

Game 5 was another example of “death by Royals” for the Mets, and this one was by far the most painful for the team and their fans.

With their “Dark Knight” Matt Harvey working on an absolute gem through eight innings and a two-run lead, it appeared New York was on its way to forcing a Game 6. But, as it was in Games 1 and 4, things fell apart in the late innings.

Manager Terry Collins decided to let Matt Harvey start the ninth inning after the pitcher, despite having thrown well over 100 pitches, was persistent on staying in.
