The Royals completed the rally in the bottom of the 14th, when Eric Hosmer 's sacrifice fly brought home Alcides Escobar with the game-winning run.

The night before, in Game 4 at Fenway Park, that comeback had begun with Dave Roberts' steal, Boston's ninth-inning rally against Mariano Rivera and David Ortiz's walk-off homer in the 12th inning. In Game 5, Big Papi did it again. The Red Sox needed a late-inning rally just to force extra innings. Ortiz -- who else? A few batters later, Jason Varitek hit the game-tying sacrifice fly off Rivera, and into extra innings it went.
