And Game 5 was an offensive explosion that could've gone either way. The Royals scored 4 in the 1st and 3 in the second to jump out to a 7-0 lead. But then the Yankees scored 11 in the 3rd to immediately go up 11-7. After 7 innings, the score was 12-12. But the Yankees scored the go-ahead run in the 8th and added 4 more in the 9th to win it 17-12.
