KC is 1 for 4 on stolen-base attempts since the start of the ALCS

Eh, maybe he wouldn't have from first. That ball smoked by Cain was picked up and thrown in quickly.

Jake Peavy walks Eric Hosmer. Two on, two out, which sets the stage for, you guessed it, Billy Butler.

by Andy McCullough via twitter 10/23/2014 12:32:02 AM
Four-pitch walk to Hosmer brings up Butler, who has killed Peavy in his career: 14-for-33 with three home runs.

We'll take a walk. C'mon Billy, do something with this!

Bill Butler delivers. RBI single to LF. It's tied, 1-1.

Billy Butler, Kansas City legend. Singles in Escobar. Tied at 1. Kauffman alive.

by Jeff Passan via twitter 10/23/2014 12:34:30 AM
Tie game! Butler rips a single past Crawford, and the Royals are on the board as Cain scores. 1-1 in the first.

Hey 'Merica, that's what Country Breakfast do. Butler shoots gap at shortstop, drives in Cain. 1-1. #worldseries #royals

by Jeff Rosen via twitter 10/23/2014 12:35:29 AM
Lots of good at bats for the Royals in that inning against Jake Peavy, who is neither throwing strikes or missing bats.

by Sam Mellinger via twitter 10/23/2014 12:35:34 AM
Billy Butler, Kansas City legend. Singles in Cain. Tied at 1. Kauffman alive. Gordon flyout ends inning, but that run was huge for KC.

by Jeff Passan via twitter 10/23/2014 12:35:42 AM
Gordon pops up, and that'll do it for the first inning. 1-1 after one.

by SI MLB via twitter 10/23/2014 12:35:49 AM
Billy Butler's business card should say "professional hitter" #TakeTheCrown @41ActionNews

by Dee Jackson via twitter 10/23/2014 12:36:13 AM
Butler's RBI single was the first hit for the Royals with a RISP since ALCS Game 2. They'd been 0-for-their-last-15.

That two-seamer from Yordano Ventura looked like Ubaldo Jimenez's fastball when he got off to his 13-1 start. Sitting 97, crazy movement.

by Jeff Passan via twitter 10/23/2014 12:45:13 AM
Ventura pitches around a two-out single by Morse in a scoreless second. Royals and Giants tied, 1-1.

by SI MLB via twitter 10/23/2014 12:46:09 AM
This time Ventura knew how many outs there were and started walking off the mound as soon as he saw that grounder headed toward Escobar.

And the first audible expletive from Jake Peavy: 8:50 p.m. ET. Hope you had that in your pool.

by SI MLB via twitter 10/23/2014 12:50:43 AM
The Royals are wearing Travis Ishikawa out in LF. Big part of their run in the first, and Omar Infante follows with a double to LF in 2nd.
