The Kansas City Royals shocked the baseball world by not only making the MLB postseason, but upsetting the Baltimore Orioles in the Wild Card Series. Unfortunately, their unlikely run came to a quicker ending than they would've liked, as they lost in four ...

Yankees ace Gerrit Cole at times made it look easy in holding the Royals to one run off six hits while working seven innings in Thursday night’s 3-1 ALDS clinching victory at Kauffman Stadium.

The loss culminated a season that followed a franchise-worst 56 wins with a remarkable improvement of 86 victories. A week prior to elimination, Kansas City swept Baltimore in an AL Wild Card series before falling to the Yankees in a 4-game series that sent New York on to play one of Kansas City’s fellow AL Central foes.
