Barba had three hits during the series (one home run, three RBIs, one walk), scoring a run and extending his career-best hitting streak to 12 games (eight runs, 10 RBIs, five doubles).

2 – Delmon Young extended his hitting streak to a career-high tying nine games with a double in Game 3 against Boston. He is now second on the franchise list with 54 doubles in 27 seasons (Matt Carpenter is third with 52).

3 – Jason Kendall’s 25th double of the season was the first by a Kansas City pitcher this season, moving him into 10th place on the franchise list. Kendall is tied with Lenny DiNardo and Johnny Giavotella for the most hits by a K.C. pitcher in a season with 26.

4 – The last Major League Baseball club without an owner – the Colorado Rockies – has won three World Series titles and now holds a 70 percent-to-1 chance of winning the 2018 World Series over the Royals (36 percent). Colorado is without John Smoltz (left knee), who died Monday of cancer, as its only owner.
