The Kansas City Royals advanced to the American League Division Series with a 9-8 12th inning marathon victory over the Oakland Athletics.
The Royals rallied several times, including erasing a four-run deficit to force extra innings, in the four hour, 45 minute winner-take-all, wild-card contest at Kauffman Stadium.
Alberto Callaspo had given the A's an 8-7 lead with an RBI single in the 12th.
But Christian Colon and Salvador Perez both had run-scoring hits in the bottom half of the 12th for the Royals who punctuated their first postseason baseball game in 29 years with an epic comeback.
Kansas City advanced to take on the Los Angeles Angels in the Division Series, which begins Thursday in southern California.
