A .500 record, at long last, and a series win.

Which is the opposite of what Game 6 in 2011 delivered — but you and I both thought about that one, I trust, when the Royals delayed this game by nearly two and a half hours due to . . . a possibility of rain that never came.

This game wasn’t banged altogether like Game 6 was, of course.

But it had a better outcome.

Insanely, I’ve now been awake for more than 15 hours, but I’ve had a great day, which included this . . .

. . . and then was lifted further by this:

Three Up, Three Down from Texas 4, Kansas City 2.
