2015 – The Royals win the 2015 World Series by defeating the Mets, 7 – 2, in Game 5. Trailing 2 – 0 in the top of the 9th, the Royals score twice against Matt Harvey and Jeurys Familia, capped by a daring dash by Eric Hosmer to score the tying run on a ground out, and explode for 5 runs in the 12th. Salvador Perez is named the Series MVP.
The legend of Matt Harvey keeps growing. The Mets’ sophomore starter is perfect against the White Sox before allowing a two-out single to Alex Rios in the 7th. He is removed after allowing only that hit through 9 innings, but with the game still scoreless, having fanned a career-high 12 opponents. Pinch-hitter Mike Baxter lines an RBI single off Nate Jones in the 10th for a 1 – 0 Mets victory, credited to reliever Bobby Parnell. It is the second time Harvey has taken a no-hitter into the 7th inning this year and he is 4-0 with a 1.28 ERA. It is just the third game in history in which a team allows only one baserunner in an extra-inning game according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
