royals in rare company

the kansas city royals are in rare company. after beating the baltimore orioles 8-6, the royals became the fourth team to start the postseason with six straight wins, joining the 2007 colorado rockies, the 1976 cincinnati reds and the 1970 baltimore orioles. the rockies and reds had seven straight, with the reds seventh being the world series clincher. so rare company indeed.
