The 2015 American League Championship Series matched the Royals against the Toronto Blue Jays, and although Kansas City never trailed in the series, the six-game set was filled with huge moments, clutch plays and intense drama.

The comeback that started with a misplayed pop fly in Game 2, Lorenzo Cain’s dash around the bases and Wade Davis’ closer role extended by rain in Game 6 are some of the memorable moments relived on this episode of the daily SportsBeat KC podcast with columnists Sam Mellinger and Vahe Gregorian and host Blair Kerkhoff.
