Preview Roundups
October 11, 2014
Kansas City at Baltimore 4:00 PM ET
The Kansas City Royals were last in the majors in home runs during the regular season, but the postseason has been a different story. The slugging Royals attempt to take a 2-0 lead in the American League Championship Series when they visit the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday. Kansas City is breaking out its power in extra innings in the playoffs and got 10th-inning blasts from Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas to post an 8-6 win in Game 1.
San Francisco at St. Louis 8:00 PM ET
Two teams that continue to make visits to the National League Championship Series square off when the St. Louis Cardinals host the San Francisco Giants in Game 1 on Saturday. The Cardinals won the NLCS in 2011 and 2013, while the Giants prevailed in 2010 and 2012 – including a seven-game victory over St. Louis in the latter matchup. Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright opposes San Francisco’s Madison Bumgarner in a top-tier pitching duel.
