Kansas City Royals fans, welcome back to the MLB Postseason! It’s been nearly a decade since this franchise has participated in the October tournament leading up to the World Series. In that last appearance, nine years ago, Salvador Perez and company hoisted the Commissioner’s Trophy. The captain will look to do the same once again with an entirely new team around him. To start off this pursuit, the Royals will head to Baltimore for a rematch of the 2014 ALCS against the Orioles.
Two of the best starting pitchers in the league will square off today, with Cole Ragans for Kansas City pitching against Baltimore’s Corbin Burnes.
