Back in 2015, the Royals were down, 6-2, to the Astros and trailing in the series, 2-1. A five-run outburst in the eighth put the Royals ahead, 7-6, in an eventual 9-6 victory. The Royals won the series with a victory in Game 5 in Kansas City, part of a playoff run that led to a World Series championship.
"We might have mentioned it a little in the dugout, just joking around," said Royals outfielder Alex Gordon of the 2015 rally.
"Definitely a similar inning to what it was in the playoffs," said Eric Hosmer, who ripped a two-run homer during Saturday's rally.
