Well, that was fun. Let’s play more World Series baseball, shall we?
After the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals broke out the dramatics with a 14-inning Game 1 on Tuesday night, the two squads square off once again on Wednesday. Let’s hope for an equally dramatic, if not a slightly earlier finish, this time around.
Jacob deGrom gets the start for the Mets, riding a serious wave of postseason momentum. The right-hander has won each of his three playoff starts, allowing just fourr runs in 20 innings while notching 27 strikeouts. This will be the first time deGrom has ever pitched against the Royals.
Meanwhile, on the Kansas City side of things, Johnny Cueto gets the start for the home team. It’s been an up-and-down postseason for Cueto who was dominant in Game 5 of the ALDS, but gave up eight runs on six hits in just two innings during his ALCS start. Overall, Cueto is 3-4 with a 4.02 ERA lifetime against the Mets.
First pitch for Game 2 at Kauffman Stadium is scheduled for 8:07 p.m. ET and will be nationally broadcast on FOX. Not going to be near a TV on Wednesday night? That’s totally fine. Here’s how to watch online and on mobile:
