Episode Details

The Royals entered the 2015 MLB playoffs with the American League’s best record, but they always seemed to play from behind in the division series against the Houston Astros. Down two games to one and trailing 6-2 as they came to bat in the top of the eighth inning of Game 4 at Minute Maid Park, the Royals and their season were headed to a crushing conclusion.

Five runs and one insane rally later, the Royals were back in the driver’s seat.

In this episode of our daily SportsBeat KC podcast, Kansas City Star columnists Sam Mellinger and Vahe Gregorian join host Blair Kerkhoff in reliving that division series. They zero in on the Royals’ Game 4 explosion, when Moose and company embodied their familiar exhortation to “keep the line moving.”

Also, you’ll hear game highlights from the television broadcast that day and how the Star’s reporters on the scene in Houston described that unlikely turn of events soon after it had concluded.
