The Kansas City Royals' season of 2014 was the 46th for the Royals franchise. On September 26, 2014, the Royals clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 1985.[1] They began the post-season by defeating the Oakland Athletics in the ALWC Game and sweeping both the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the ALDS and the Baltimore Orioles in the ALCS, becoming the first team in Major League history to win their first 8 postseason games in a row. They lost to the San Francisco Giants in seven games in the 2014 World Series.
To date, the 2014 Royals are the most recent MLB team to hit fewer than 100 home runs in a season.
