Royals-Astros Preview (Yahoo Sports)

In their run to the franchise's first World Series title in 30 years, the Kansas City Royals had a number of memorable wins. The reigning champions return to Houston for a rematch of last season's AL division series Monday night looking to spoil the Astros' home opener in the first of a four-game set. Kansas City's dream of a long-awaited championship was nearly derailed in Houston after the Astros won two of the first three games in the best-of-five ALDS and trailed 6-2 in Game 4 entering the eighth inning.
