This is really happening.
The Royals lead the Angles 1-0 in the ALDS.
Tonight, they hand the ball to Yordano Ventura, pitching for the first time since the Tuesday evening relief disaster, to try to grab a decisive hold on the series.
12 of the last 14 teams that opened the ALDS with a win went on to win the series. Of the last 14 to begin the series by winning the first two games, 13 of those 14 advanced.
This is a huge game. A win helps Kansas City gain a strangle hold on the series, with a chance to clinch in front of a home crowd on Sunday. Can they do it? Here are the lineups:
