The Kansas City Royals have now won eight consecutive Game 2s, tying the Atlanta Braves' record for the longest such winning streak in MLB postseason history.
The Kansas City Royals entered Monday trailing the New York Yankees 1-0 in the ALDS, but recent history suggested that they need not have worried about going down 2-0.
While the win didn't seem like a foregone conclusion in a vaccuum, it falls in line with what the Royals have achieved over the past decade. Dating back to the 2014 playoffs, the Royals have won eight consecutive Game 2s., that is tied for the longest Game 2 winning streak in postseason history. The Atlanta Braves also won eight straight Game 2s between 2001 and 2013.
The Royals swept the Orioles in a best-of-three AL Wild Card Series just last week, before besting the Yankees and tying the Game 2 record in the Bronx on Monday.
