Sooner or later you knew that the Kansas City Royals undefeated run thru the postseason would come to an end, and it ended in a big way.

Madison Bumgarner went seven innings, allowing one run on just three hits, walking just one and striking out five, as the San Francisco Giants defeated the Royals 7-1 in Game One of the 2014 World Series at Kauffman Stadium.

Gregor Blanco got the Giants going in the first inning, as he singled in front of Lorenzo Cain in centerfield.

Pablo Sandoval gave the Giants their first run of the game, as he doubled to right field to score Blanco; however Buster Posey was thrown out at the plate.

Hunter Pence then made it 3-0 with one swing of the bat, as he hit a two-run home run that was measured at 378 feet.

Royals starter James Shields was unable to make it out of the fourth, as the Giants got out to a 5-0 lead against the Royals top starter.

Making their first appearance in the World Series since 1985, the Royals were unable to give their fans anything to cheer about until Salvador Perez hit a solo home run off of Bumgarner in the bottom of the seventh inning.

The home run by Perez ended a scoreless of 32.2 innings, a new postseason record for the 25-year old Bumgarner.

Michael Morse sent Shields to the showers, as he singled to score Pence in the fourth, then Blanco added another run batted in, when he walked to score Brandon Belt.

Sandoval put the final touches on the Giants scoring, as he drove in Joe Panik with a single.

In his World Series, Panik drove in a run with a triple in the top of the seventh inning to score Blanco.

Perez broke up the shutout in the bottom of the seventh inning, as he hit his first home run of the postseason.
