The World Series is back. The NBA is back. The Bruins win, and the Celtics are back tonight. All that and more sports news to start your Wednesday.

Game 1 of World Series delayed after Fox Sports telecast lost power: Game 1 of the World Series was delayed for more than five minutes after Fox Sports’ telecasts of the game was bumped off the air. The outage occurred at 9:19 ET, shortly after Kansas City Royals designated hitter Kendrys Morales struck out looking against New York Mets starter Matt Harvey. (USA Today)

Gord-geous! KC’s HR in 9th sparks epic Game 1 win: It was arguably one of the most pulsating, tense and unforgettable Game 1s in World Series history. From the moment of the first pitch, when Royals starter Edinson Volquez began hurling two-seam fastballs unaware of the tragic news that awaited him after the game, that his father had passed away earlier in the day, to the Bill Bucknerish boot by Royals Gold Glove first baseman Eric Hosmer that gave the Mets a one-run lead in the eighth, to the dramatic game-tying homer by Alex Gordon in the ninth, and finally to Hosmer’s redemption, a game-winning sacrifice fly in the 14th, it was all there. A night packed with drama. And in the end, in what matched for the third time the longest game in World Series history, the Royals survived, 5-4, in a Tuesday game that lasted five hours and nine minutes, stretching into Wednesday morning.

Bulls open NBA season with win over Cavs: Taj Gibson came right out and said it, a couple different ways in fact, and didn’t bother with the cool, just-1-of-82 approach so many players and coaches take to Opening Night as a way to release a little pressure. It mattered to Gibson and his Chicago teammates that they played and beat the Cleveland Cavaliers Tuesday night at United Center, 97-95. The Bulls had been hearing about the clash since the NBA schedule came out in August. They knew it meant a lot to their fans (NBA.com)
