VIDEO: Morales joins Royals legends with 2 HRs

John Rieger-USA TODAY Sports

The Kansas City Royals found themselves trailing the Houston Astros 3-0 early in Game 1 of the ALDS on Thursday, but Kendrys Morales hit a solo shot to gain a run back before a 48-minute rain delay halted play after the second inning.

Play resumed, and after five consecutive strikeouts from Chris Young out of the Royals bullpen, Morales provided the offense again in the bottom of the fourth with his second homer of the game.

With his second blast off Collin McHugh, Morales became just the third player in Royals history with a multi-homer postseason game, joining George Brett and Willie Aikens.
