SERIES NOTES:
After Game 5: The San Francisco Giants hosted and shut out the
Kansas City Royals 5-runs-nil to take a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff
series 1253 lead of 3-games-2. When leading a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL
playoff series 3-games-2, the San Francisco Giants have a series record
of 1-2 and a Game 6 record of 1-2. When trailing a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL
playoff series 3-games-2, the Kansas City Royals have a series record
of 2-1 and a Game 6 record of 2-1. When leading a best-of-7 MLB playoff
series 3-games-2, the San Francisco Giants defeated the Philadelphia
Phillies in series 1120 Game 6 to win the 2010 National League
Championship Series; the Giants have lost both best-of-7 MLB playoff
series in which they led 3-games-2 but didn't win Game 6. When trailing a
best-of-7 MLB playoff series 3-games-2, the Kansas City Royals lost to
the Philadelphia Phillies in series 381 Game 6 to lose the 1980 World
Series; the Royals have won both best-of-7 MLB playoff series in which
they trailed 3-games-2 but didn't lose Game 6. The win/site order by the
San Francisco Giants thus far in the 2014 MLB Finals is WLLWW @ VVHHH:
In best-of-7 MLB Finals series, teams posting such a win/site order
through five games have a 1-2 series record (the winner: the 2003
Florida Marlins, defeating the New York Yankees in series 905; the
losers: the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers, falling to the Cardinals in St.
Louis in series 411, and the 2002 San Francisco Giants, falling to the
Anaheim Angels in series 872).
After Game 4: The San Francisco Giants hosted and defeated the
Kansas City Royals 11-runs-4 to knot best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff
series 1253 at 2-games-all. When tied 2-games-all in a best-of-7
MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series, the Kansas City Royals have a series record
of 0-1 and a Game 5 record of 0-1 (in series 381, the 1980 MLB Finals),
while the San Francisco Giants have a series record of 0-3 and a Game 5
record of 2-1 (in series 151 [the 1962 MLB Finals], 499 [the 1987 MLB
Semifinals], and 872 [the 2002 MLB Finals]). The San Francisco Giants
trailed Kansas City 4-runs-1 after 2.5 innings, but rallied to win
series 1253 Game 4: In the history of best-of-7 MLB playoff games prior
to series 1253 Game 4, home teams trailing by three runs after 2.5
innings had only a 13-40 (.245) game record. The last comeback by a home
team down three runs after 2.5 innings in a best-of-7 MLB playoff game
was also achieved by the Giants, in series 1252 Game 4 against the St.
Louis Cardinals in the just-concluded 2014 MLB Semifinals. The eleven
runs scored by San Francisco in series 1253 Game 4 are the most by one
team in an MLB Finals game since series 1154 Game 3, in which the St.
Louis Cardinals defeated the Rangers in Texas 16-runs-7 in Game 3 of the
2011 MLB Finals, and are the most by one team in an MLB Finals Game 4
since series 650 Game 4, in which the Toronto Blue Jays outslugged the

After Game 3:
The Kansas City Royals visited and outscored the San Francisco Giants
3-runs-2 to take a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 1253 lead of
2-games-1. When leading a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series
2-games-1, the Kansas City Royals have a series record of 0-0 and a Game
4 record of 0-0 – the Royals hold a 2-games-1 lead in a best-of-7 MLB
playoff series for the first time in this, their fifth best-of-7 MLB
playoff series. When trailing a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series
2-games-1, the San Francisco Giants have a series record of 1-3 and a
Game 4 record of 3-1. In best-of-7 MLB playoff series (all rounds),
teams such as the Kansas City Royals which post a LWW @ HHV win/site
order through three games have a 15-2 series record; the two teams to
fall in this situation both fell to the Florida Marlins in 2003 (the
Chicago Cubs in the MLB Semifinals in series 904; the New York Yankees
in the MLB Finals in series 905). The Kansas City Royals became the
second team in a best-of-7 format MLB playoff game to score one run in
the top of the first inning and two runs in the top of the sixth for
three runs total - in series 261, the Oakland Athletics did so in
Cincinnati against the Reds to win 1972 MLB Finals Game 7.
After Game 2: The Kansas City Royals hosted and bested the San
Francisco Giants 7-runs-2 to tie best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series
1253 at 1-game-all. When tied 1-game-all in a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL
playoff series, the Kansas City Royals have a series record of 0-0 and a
Game 3 record of 0-0 (i.e., the Royals have split the first two games
of a best-of-7 MLB playoff series for the first time in series 1253),
while the San Francisco Giants have a series record of 4-3 and a Game 3
record of 3-4. The Kansas City Royals' five-run outburst in the bottom
of the sixth inning is the highest-scoring best-of-7 MLB Finals sixth
inning by one team since series 411 Game 6, in which the Cardinals in
St. Louis scored six runs in the bottom of the sixth against the
Milwaukee Brewers in the 1982 MLB Finals. The series 1253 win/site order
for the Kansas City Royals is LW @ HH: Kansas City thus hopes to follow
the lead set by their cross-state rival St. Louis Cardinals, which own a
perfect 5-0 best-of-7 MLB Finals record in the wake of a LW @ HH
win/site order through the first two games. The San Francisco Giants,
against whom St. Louis posted a LW @ HH win/site order to begin series
1252 but then lost Games 3-5 and their 2014 MLB Semifinals series, would
for their part be happy to duplicate that performance against the other
MLB team in Missouri in 2014.
After Game 1: The San Francisco Giants visited and defeated the
Kansas City Royals 7-runs-1 to take a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff
series 1253 lead of 1-game-nil. When leading a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL
playoff series 1-game-nil, the San Francisco Giants have a series record
of 6-1 (with an active four-series winning streak) and a Game 2 record
of 3-4. When trailing a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 1-game-nil,
the Kansas City Royals have a series record of 2-1 and a Game 2 record
of 0-3. The 7-runs-1 victory by the San Francisco Giants in series 1253
Game 1 is the most one-sided best-of-7 MLB Finals Game 1 victory since
series 1220, in which the Boston Red Sox hosted and defeated the St.
Louis Cardinals 8-runs-1 in Game 1 of the 2013 MLB Finals. In the
history of best-of-7 MLB Finals Game 1, the team winning by six runs has
a 2-3 series record, with an active three-series losing streak. The
three runs plated by the San Francisco Giants in the top of the first
inning of series 1253 Game 1 are the most in the top of the first inning
of an MLB Finals Game 1 since series 179, in which the Baltimore
Orioles also scored three top-of-the-first-inning runs against the
Dodgers in Los Angeles to begin the 1966 MLB Finals (which Baltimore won
in four games). Series 1253 Game 1 is only the second best-of-7 MLB
Finals Game 1 in which the road team led 5-runs-nil after the top of the
fourth inning through the bottom of the sixth inning; the first was
series 158 Game 1, in which the Los Angeles Dodgers did so against the
Yankees in New York in the 1963 MLB Finals (which Los Angeles won in
four games).
Pre-series assessment: In the 2014 MLB regular season, the Kansas
City Royals finished one game ahead of the San Francisco Giants. From
1905 through the 2014 MLB Semifinals round, when MLB teams led their
best-of-7 playoff series opponents by one regular-season game, they have
posted a best-of-7 playoff series record of 4-3 (.571) in those series
against those opponents. MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1253 is
the fifth best-of-7 MLB playoff series for the Kansas City Royals, and
the twelfth for the San Francisco Giants. In best-of-7 MLB playoff
series, the Kansas City Royals have an all-rounds series record of 3-1, a
Finals-round series record of 1-1, and a Game 1 record of 1-3, while
the San Francisco Giants have an all-rounds series record of 7-4 (with
an active five-series winning streak), a Finals-round series record of
2-3, and a Game 1 record of 7-4. Series 1253 is the first best-of-7 MLB
playoff series meeting between the Kansas City Royals and the San
Francisco Giants.
After Game 3:
The Kansas City Royals visited and outscored the San Francisco Giants
3-runs-2 to take a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 1253 lead of
2-games-1. When leading a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series
2-games-1, the Kansas City Royals have a series record of 0-0 and a Game
4 record of 0-0 – the Royals hold a 2-games-1 lead in a best-of-7 MLB
playoff series for the first time in this, their fifth best-of-7 MLB
playoff series. When trailing a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series
2-games-1, the San Francisco Giants have a series record of 1-3 and a
Game 4 record of 3-1. In best-of-7 MLB playoff series (all rounds),
teams such as the Kansas City Royals which post a LWW @ HHV win/site
order through three games have a 15-2 series record; the two teams to
fall in this situation both fell to the Florida Marlins in 2003 (the
Chicago Cubs in the MLB Semifinals in series 904; the New York Yankees
in the MLB Finals in series 905). The Kansas City Royals became the
second team in a best-of-7 format MLB playoff game to score one run in
the top of the first inning and two runs in the top of the sixth for
three runs total - in series 261, the Oakland Athletics did so in
Cincinnati against the Reds to win 1972 MLB Finals Game 7.
After Game 2: The Kansas City Royals hosted and bested the San
Francisco Giants 7-runs-2 to tie best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series
1253 at 1-game-all. When tied 1-game-all in a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL
playoff series, the Kansas City Royals have a series record of 0-0 and a
Game 3 record of 0-0 (i.e., the Royals have split the first two games
of a best-of-7 MLB playoff series for the first time in series 1253),
while the San Francisco Giants have a series record of 4-3 and a Game 3
record of 3-4. The Kansas City Royals' five-run outburst in the bottom
of the sixth inning is the highest-scoring best-of-7 MLB Finals sixth
inning by one team since series 411 Game 6, in which the Cardinals in
St. Louis scored six runs in the bottom of the sixth against the
Milwaukee Brewers in the 1982 MLB Finals. The series 1253 win/site order
for the Kansas City Royals is LW @ HH: Kansas City thus hopes to follow
the lead set by their cross-state rival St. Louis Cardinals, which own a
perfect 5-0 best-of-7 MLB Finals record in the wake of a LW @ HH
win/site order through the first two games. The San Francisco Giants,
against whom St. Louis posted a LW @ HH win/site order to begin series
1252 but then lost Games 3-5 and their 2014 MLB Semifinals series, would
for their part be happy to duplicate that performance against the other
MLB team in Missouri in 2014.
After Game 1: The San Francisco Giants visited and defeated the
Kansas City Royals 7-runs-1 to take a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff
series 1253 lead of 1-game-nil. When leading a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL
playoff series 1-game-nil, the San Francisco Giants have a series record
of 6-1 (with an active four-series winning streak) and a Game 2 record
of 3-4. When trailing a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 1-game-nil,
the Kansas City Royals have a series record of 2-1 and a Game 2 record
of 0-3. The 7-runs-1 victory by the San Francisco Giants in series 1253
Game 1 is the most one-sided best-of-7 MLB Finals Game 1 victory since
series 1220, in which the Boston Red Sox hosted and defeated the St.
Louis Cardinals 8-runs-1 in Game 1 of the 2013 MLB Finals. In the
history of best-of-7 MLB Finals Game 1, the team winning by six runs has
a 2-3 series record, with an active three-series losing streak. The
three runs plated by the San Francisco Giants in the top of the first
inning of series 1253 Game 1 are the most in the top of the first inning
of an MLB Finals Game 1 since series 179, in which the Baltimore
Orioles also scored three top-of-the-first-inning runs against the
Dodgers in Los Angeles to begin the 1966 MLB Finals (which Baltimore won
in four games). Series 1253 Game 1 is only the second best-of-7 MLB
Finals Game 1 in which the road team led 5-runs-nil after the top of the
fourth inning through the bottom of the sixth inning; the first was
series 158 Game 1, in which the Los Angeles Dodgers did so against the
Yankees in New York in the 1963 MLB Finals (which Los Angeles won in
four games).
Pre-series assessment: In the 2014 MLB regular season, the Kansas
City Royals finished one game ahead of the San Francisco Giants. From
1905 through the 2014 MLB Semifinals round, when MLB teams led their
best-of-7 playoff series opponents by one regular-season game, they have
posted a best-of-7 playoff series record of 4-3 (.571) in those series
