The Blue Jays find themselves in a familiar hole on Saturday, down 1-0 in a playoff series. The Royals pounced all over the AL East champions, securing a 5-0 victory in Game 1 of the ALCS. Now, Toronto sends David Price to the mound in hopes of avoiding another 2-0 deficit.
Kansas City counters with Yordano Ventura; however, his 5.04 career postseason ERA isn't the most comforting thought for those in attendance this afternoon.
The Royals' franchise-record 16-inning postseason scoreless streak will surely be tested.

Interesting how Ned Yost said they were going to pound the Blue Jays in and then stayed away the whole game for a shut out. Well done
