The American League Championship Series, as advertised, has showcased a potent, high-scoring offense. The surprise? It's been the Kansas City Royals, not the Toronto Blue Jays, who've done the bulk of the mashing.
With a 14-2 drubbing of the Jays at the Rogers Centre on Tuesday, the Royals took a commanding 3-1 ALCS lead. They'll have a chance to finish off Toronto on Wednesday and punch a second straight ticket to the World Series.
If they keep swinging it like they have been, they might not lose again this October.
"We like the way we're playing right now," skipper Ned Yost said after Game 4, per Jeffrey Flanagan and Gregor Chisholm of MLB.
