The World Series' return to Kansas City wasn't nearly as happy as Royals fans were hoping. The San Francisco Giants routed the Royals in Game 1 of the World Series, winning the game 7-1 and snapping K.C.'s eight-game winning streak this postseason. Madison Bumgarner turned in another dominating playoff performance , pitching seven innings of three-hit ball. The Giants jumped on Royals starter James Shields early, scoring three in the first inning. Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence each had two hits and two RBIs for the Giants. The Kauffman Stadium crowd, loud and happy at the start, ended the night disappointed. Here are five key moments from Game 1: 1. HUNTER PENCE'S FIRST INNING HOMER Hunter Pence hadn't homered in the 2014 postseason, but he quickly changed that in Game 1 of the World Series, taking Shields deep in the first inning . The homer also scored Pablo Sandoval, who had just doubled in a run. Pence's two-run homer put the Giants up 3-0. * * *
