Not many people had Kansas City beating Oakland in the wild card, and even fewer had them taking the first game of the division series. But the Royals did just that on Thursday with a 3-2 win over Los Angeles. Third baseman Mike Moustakas was the hero of the game with an 11th inning home run to seal the win.
"It's probably the biggest one I've ever hit so far," Moustakas said, via ESPN. "It felt really amazing."
The Angels got one home run apiece from Chris Iannetta and David Freese, but manager Mike Scioscia acknowledged he needs more production from the rest of his lineup.
"We had some guys in scoring position, just couldn't get that one hit, especially late," he said. "Those guys hung in there and got the big outs and got the big hit late. So we hit two home runs to keep ourselves in the game, but outside of that, we didn't really pressure those guys very much."
Los Angeles will send Matt Shoemaker (16-4, 3.04 ERA) to the mound to help the team avoid falling into a 0-2 deficit. He'll be opposed by Yordano Ventura (14-10, 3.20), who's looking to bounce back after giving up a two-run homer in Tuesday's wild card game.
"We like his power," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "(Tuesday's) game was like a side session for him. He throws a 100-mph four-seamer, a 96-mph two-seamer, 95-mph cutter, a nice changeup and above-average curve when he throws it for strikes."
