Game 2 of the 2014 World Series was pretty much the opposite of Game 1 and as a result of the victory by the Royals the championship series moves to San Francisco with things all knotted up at one game apiece.
Hunter Strickland: 23 batters faced this postseason ... 5 HR allowed. He allowed four homers all year in the regular season.
