Scorching hot Astros have done something that's only been done twice in 30 years

There is simply no stopping the Houston Astros right now.

It was the Kansas City Royals' turn to try to stop the 'Stros juggernaut Monday night at Kauffman Stadium, and in the 2015 ALDS rematch, Houston walked away with a 7-3 win (box score). Brian McCann had the game's big blow, a two-run home run off Ian Kennedy.

It was the 11th win in a row for the Astros -- they've won 22 of their last 27 games overall -- and it improved their MLB best record to 42-16.
