One team could clinch a spot in the World Series in just a few hours. If the Royals can get things done at Kauffman Stadium this afternoon, the Orioles will have to go back home, their 2014 season over, without a win in the series. Miguel Gonzalez will take the mound to try to break the losing streak and keep their World Series hopes alive. But Jason Vargas hopes to lead KC to the AL Championship title by completing the sweep.

Today's Lineups
