The Royals scored both their runs on an error charged to Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph on a throw home off of a fielder’s choice hit by Eric Hosmer in the first inning. Joseph failed to control the ball and lost it as Alcides Escobar slid home safely. Nori Aoki also came home to score on the play. Ryan Flaherty brought the Orioles back within one with a solo-home run in the third inning, but that would be the O’s lone score. Lefty Jason Vargas started on the mound for the Royals, who became the first team in MLB-history to win eight straight games to open the postseason. Vargas allowed two hits and one run in 5 1/3 innings while earning the win. He also struck out six batters and walked three. Greg Holland earned the save for the Royals. The Orioles started well-rested pitcher Miguel Gonzales, who was credited with the loss. Gonzales had not pitched since September 28. Gonzales pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs – one earned - on four hits, while striking out four and walking four. The Royals will wait to face either the San Francisco Giants or St. Louis Cardinals in the Fall Classic. The Giants own a 2-1 lead in the NLCS through three games. Robert Mathis Colts Jersey .
