"2010 - In Game 2 of the 2010 World Series, the Giants rout the Rangers, 9-0, but the score is only 1-0 in the 7th when Texas starter C.J. Wilson leaves with a blister on his finger. Matt Cain and two relievers combine on a four-hit shutout. Texas has allowed 20 runs in the first two World Series games in franchise history, setting a major league record."
"2001 - Randy Johnson of the Arizona Diamondbacks tosses a three-hit shutout to defeat the Yankees, 4-0, taking a 2-0 advantage in the Series. Matt Williams becomes the first player in World Series history to hit home runs with three different teams. He homered in the Fall Classic for the Indians in 1997 and the Giants in 1989."
"2015 - The Royals take Game 2 of the World Series, 7-1 over the Mets, behind an outstanding performance by Johnny Cueto, who pitches a two-hitter. Eric Hosmer drives in two runs to put Kansas City ahead in the fifth and Alcides Escobar adds a run-scoring triple. It's the first complete game by an American League pitcher in a World Series game since Jack Morris's masterful performance in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series."
