Harvey shoulders blame for costly 6th

"It's more difficult with the fact that I gave up the two runs to tie the game," Harvey said. "There's a lot of disappointment. Giving up those runs, in my mind -- if I hadn't done that, the game wouldn't have gone as long as it did."

The night started on a disconcerting note for Harvey, who watched Alcides Escobar jump on his first pitch, a 95-mph fastball that was mashed to deep left-center field and fell between left fielder Michael Conforto and center fielder Yoenis Cespedes -- who clearly had some communication issues -- for the first World Series inside-the-park home run since 1929.
