The Kansas City Royals won in the 14th inning on a sacrifice fly by Eric Hosmer to beat the New York Mets 5-4 in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night.

The game was the longest World Series opener in history and tied for the longest Fall Classic game ever.

"It was a great night," Ned Yost said. "Two things you don't want in Game 1 of the World Series: One is to go 14 innings and the other is to lose."
