However, in Game 3, Toronto raced out to a 3-0 lead, but the Royals scored 6 unanswered (5 in the 7th), to run away with a 6-3 victory.
Kansas City
The Royals can almost taste it. After being so close to tying Game 7 of the World Series last year, they now sit just 2 games from another chance at grabbing the trophy.
The Royals will be going for their ridiculous 10th straight ALCS win on Monday. The last time they lost an ALCS game came all the way back in 1985.

Kansas City will send Johnny Cueto to the mound here in Game 3. Cueto has endured up and down times since coming over from the Reds, but he stepped up when the Royals needed him the most in Game 5 of the ALDS.
Cueto went 8.0 innings allowing just a 2 run home run as he gave the Royals exactly what they traded for back in July.
Cueto has faced Toronto once this year, his first start in a Royals’ uniform, and he went 6.0 innings allowing 3 runs on 7 hits.
Toronto
The Blue Jays have the experience and talent to certainly overcome this 2-0 hole. In fact, they’ve already overcame it one time this post season.
After dropping the first two to the Texas Rangers at home, the Blue Jays went on the road, stole 2 right back in Texas and then came home for a dramatic Game 5 that will be remembered for forever. Toronto will look to get back on track with RH Marcus Stroman on the hill.

Stroman started Game 5 of the ALDS for Toronto and did not factor in the decision. He did pitch extremely well as he finished with 2 runs allowed on 6 hits in 6.0 innings.
Stroman has faced Kansas City just once in his career and went 6.0 strong innings allowing 1 run to grab the win.
They key to success in the ALDS was Ben Revere. He’s the main table setter for the Donaldson-Bautista-Encarnacion trio, but is 0 for 9 through the first two games of the ALCS with 3 strike outs. Look for him to be an x factor here in Game 3.
