Wow.

The Royals did it again. They season looked in jeopardy Monday after falling behind 6-2 after seven innings. But a five-run eighth and two more in the ninth inning lifted the Royals to a 9-6 win at Houston in Game 4 of the American League Division Series.

It was reminiscent of last year’s Wild Card Game win. So the question is ... which victory was more unexpected?
