The Series commenced on October 27, which was the latest a World Series had started, beating the previous record by four days (1999 World Series, October 23). The Yankees struck first in Game 1 when [[Derek Jeter]] was hit by a pitch with one out in the first and scored on [[Bernie Williams]]'s double two batters later. However, Arizona's [[Curt Schilling]] and two relievers, [[Mike Morgan (baseball)|Mike Morgan]] and [[Greg Swindell]] held the Yankees scoreless afterward. They managed to get only two walks and two hits for the rest of the game, [[Scott Brosius]]'s double in the second and [[Jorge Posada]]'s single in the fourth, both with two outs.

Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks tied the game on [[Craig Counsell]]'s one-out home run in the first off of [[Mike Mussina]]. After a scoreless second, Mussina led off the third by hitting [[Tony Womack]] with a pitch. He moved to second on Counsell's sacrifice bunt before [[Luis Gonzalez (outfielder, born 1967)|Luis Gonzalez]]'s home run put the Diamondbacks up 3–1. A single and right fielder [[David Justice]]'s error put runners on second and third before [[Matt Williams (third baseman)|Matt Williams]]'s sacrifice fly put Arizona up 4–1. After [[Mark Grace]] was intentionally walked, [[Damian Miller]]'s RBI double gave Arizona a 5–1 lead.

Next inning, Gonzalez hit a two-out double off of [[Randy Choate]]. [[Reggie Sanders]] was intentionally walked before Gonzalez scored on [[Steve Finley]]'s single. An error by third baseman Brosius scored Sanders, put Finley at third, and Williams at second. Both men scored on [[Mark Grace]]'s double, putting Arizona up 9–1. Though the Diamondbacks got just one more hit for the rest of the game off of [[Sterling Hitchcock]] and [[Mike Stanton (left-handed pitcher)|Mike Stanton]] (Williams' leadoff single in the seventh), they went up 1–0 in the series.

The Diamondbacks' win in Game 1 was the first World Series game won by a non-New York City team since 1997. In every World Series between 1997 and 2001, either both teams were from New York City or a New York City team won in a sweep (1998 and 1999).
