Royals rock Peavy, rout SF Giants to force Game 7

[yuiyoshida]

Kansas City, Mo. – In 1975, two events in Georgia and Massachussets occurred that now have immense meaning for the Giants and their faithful as they gird for an intense finish to the 2014 season Wednesday night.

Tim Hudson was born that year and the Cincinnati Reds overcame Carlton Fisk’s now-famous “please stay fair” home run in Game 6 of the World Series to win Game 7 at Fenway Park.

No team since has gone on the road, lost the sixth game of the World Series won the championship.

That is the stark history the Giants face after the Royals crushed Jake Peavy and Yusmeiro Petit for seven runs in the second inning of Game 6 Tuesday night and giggled through a 10-0 victory.

Kansas City took the field at Kauffman Stadium like a house afire and evened the Series at three games apiece to set the stage for a seventh game the Giants desperately wanted to avoid – and that Royals manager Ned Yost oddly said he would love to see when the Series was tied 2-2.
