Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs to lead his team to an 8-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series.
Gordon's four RBIs tied a club postseason record (Jim Sundberg also accomplished the feat in Game 7 of 1985 ALCS) and he's now hitting an impressive .316 with a home run and eight RBIs in five postseason games.
He also scored a run and survived being hit by an Andrew Miller pitch in the neck.
Here are some of the highlights from his spectacular Game 1 performance:
