Linda and I attended game 2 of the 2015 American League Championship Series at Ewing M. Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. The Kansas City Royals went into the game with 1-0 lead over the Toronto Blue Jays. The game had a 3:07PM start following the singing of the National Anthems of both Canada and the United States. The Blue Jays took a one run lead in the 3rd inning. There was no more scoring until the sixth inning, when Royals starting pitcher, Yordano Ventura, left the game with the bases loaded and one out, trailing 3-0. Fortunately, reliever, Luke Hochevar, got two quick outs to get the Royals out of the inning. The crowd could sense something was about to happen in the bottom of the seventh inning and everyone was on their feet and making noise as Ben Zobrist was the first one to bat. He popped up, but it fell between two Toronto fielders and he was on base. Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer followed with more singles and the score was quickly 3-1. The Royals finished the inning 5-3. Kelvin Herrera kept the Blue Jays from scoring in the 8th and the Royals scored a safety run in the bottom of that inning. Wade Davis finished off the ninth inning and KC won 6-3.
