HOUSTON -- The Royals certainly have had their fair share of famous and improbable comebacks in the postseason the past two years.
Perhaps none -- not even the crazy 2014 American League Wild Card Game -- was more unlikely than the Royals' rally from a 6-2 deficit against the Astros in Game 4 of the AL Division Series last season.
Just six outs from elimination in the best-of-five series, the Royals scored five times in the eighth inning and went on to a 9-6 win, forcing a Game 5, which they also won.
The Astros had scored five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to build a 6-2 lead, but Royals delivered five straight singles to open the eighth, pulling them within two runs before an out was recorded.
