Astros vs. Royals Game 2: Live ALDS Score and Highlights

The Kansas City Royals have ended the run of road teams winning in the postseason, rallying from an early 3-0 deficit to claim a 5-4 win over the Houston Astros in Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Friday.

The series is tied 1-1, with Houston taking first blood on Thursday night at Kauffman Stadium.

Ben Zobrist's RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning drove in Alcides Escobar, who had opened the frame with a triple to right-center, for the go-ahead score. The royals had tied the game in the sixth with two runs on an RBI single from Eric Hosmer and a bases-loaded walk from Salvador Perez.

Perez also hit a solo home run in the second, the Royals' first run after falling behind 3-0 for the second straight game.

Houston led 4-1 after three innings on Colby Rasmus' solo homer, his second of the series and third of the postseason. Rasmus also had an RBI double in the first for the Astros.

Kelvin Herrera got the win for the Royals while Wade Davis picked up the save, helping his own cause by picking off pinch-runner Carlos Gomez after allowing a walk. The play was initially called safe, but after a replay review the Royals got the call overturned.
