Kansas City takes home the World Championship crown for the first time since 1985 in a dramatic, come-from-behind, win over the New York Mets.

The Kansas City Royals have a two-games-to-none lead over the New York Mets as the World Series continues tonight (FRI) in New York.

The Royals are up 3 to 1 in the best-of-seven series.

Right-handed ace Johnny Cueto dominated the Houston Astros for eight innings Wednesday night to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 7-2 victory and advance to the American League Championship Series for the second consecutive year.

The Kansas City Royals have the best winning record in the American League. As the Boys in Blue prepare for post-season play, some key players get a rest.

Thursday night's victory makes Ned Yost the most successful manager in Royals' history with 411 wins.
