Game 1 of World Series delayed after broadcast failure

Game 1 of the World Series between the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals experienced a six-minute delay following technical difficulties with the broadcast.

Tied 1-1 with one out in the fourth inning, play was halted after FOX Sports lost power to a truck carrying the signal of the game.

"Before the start of the bottom of the fourth inning of tonight's World Series Game 1, a rare electronics failure caused both the primary and backup generators inside the FOX Sports production compound to lose power," FOX said in a statement. "The issue was immediately addressed, although it resulted in the audience missing one at-bat during the time needed to switch to carriage of Major League baseball's international feed, powered by a different generator. The on-field delay was due to replay capability being lost in both team's clubhouses."

Both teams decided to go without replay temporarily in order to resume play. Full replay capabilities resumed 20 minutes later.
