The MLB World Series Game 5 takes place on Sunday night with the Kansas City Royals playing their third straight road game against the New York Mets. The Royals have the chance to claim the title tonight, but the Mets will be doing everything they can to claim the victory to take the series back to Kansas City for a Game 6. The game has a scheduled start time of 8.15 p.m. ET and takes place from Citi Field in Flushing, New York. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.
Defeat in Game 4 at Citi Field means that the New York Mets must now win three straight games to win this World Series. However, they must take it one game at a time and that begins tonight in Flushing, New York, where they must win to take the series back to Kauffman Stadium.
Coming to the mound tonight for the Royals will be Edinson Volquez. He has a 13-9 record this season with a 3.55 ERA and 155K. Opposite him will be Matt Harvey for the Mets, and New York will be hoping he can help them claim their second win of the series tonight. Harvey is 13-8 this season with a 2.71 ERA and 188K.
Volquez was in the news in this series already, having pitched a great Game 1, but afterwards learning about the death of his father. That news meant he returned home for the funeral, but he is now back in New York with his team and will want to help his team over the finish line.
Harvey meanwhile suffered a loss in Game 1, and allowed three runs and five hits in his six innings at the mound.
The Mets will be aiming to join just five previous teams who have turned a 1-3 deficit in a World Series into a title win. One of the teams who have accomplished that is of course the Kansas City Royals, who turned their series around with three straight wins 30 years ago when they last won the World Series.
Royals' manager Ned Yost has tried to take the pressure off his team coming into the game, saying: "[Game 5] is going to be important, but it's not going to be the end of the world if we don't win. But I think everybody's going to come to the park ready to go."
