The Royals win their first American League pennant in 29 years, completing a four-game sweep of the Orioles 

On October 15, 2014 — at Kauffman Stadium. The Kansas City Royals win their first American League pennant in 29 years, completing a four-game sweep of the Orioles in the ALCS with a 2 – 1 win in Game 4. The Royals use small ball to score twice in the bottom of the 1st, then let their defence and dominant pitching do the rest. Lorenzo Cain is named the MVP of the series after hitting .533 and making a number of fine catches in centerfield, while Greg Holland saves all four wins. With 8 straight wins since the start of the postseason, the Royals set a new all-time record.

Kansas City, after winning the wild-card game over the A’s, continued their winning ways by beating the Angels in the first three games of the best-of-five ALDS series.
