The Royals even the World Series with a 7 – 2 win over the Giants in Game 2. The Royals break a 2 – 2 tie in the 6th by scoring 5 runs as the Giants use five pitchers in a vain attempt to stop the bleeding. Billy Butler puts the Royals ahead with a run-scoring single, but the big blows are a two-run double by Salvador Perez followed by a two-run homer by Omar Infante, both against rookie Hunter Strickland.
