The Kansas City Royals are determined to end the World Series on Sunday night in New York.
And they may do it at the expense of New York Mets closer Jeurys Familia.
Familia blew his third save of the World Series after allowing Eric Hosmer to score from third base with two outs in the ninth inning, becoming the first player in MLB history to blow three saves in the Fall Classic, per SportsCenter.
The Royals were able to get one run across with an RBI double from Hosmer off Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey. Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez hit a ground ball to David Wright, who threw out Perez at first. Hosmer made a gutsy call to try to advance from third, and Lucas Duda's throw was wide at the plate.
MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez shared his thoughts on the craziness that ensued at Citi Field:
It was a beyond-gutsy decision by Hosmer, but in a situation like the Royals are in, there's no losing except the game. If Duda's throw is on line, the Mets win, and the series shifts back to Kansas City with two more opportunities for another win.
