After 2,001 games, Adam Dunn finally made it to the postseason Sunday. He had one of the best seats in the house last night, and now his playoff career is over. He went out watching, deprived of the chance of striking out even once.

In the last of the ninth, Jarrod Dyson stole third and scored on a sacrifice fly, tying the game.

The Royals were the anti-Dunn last night. They showed how thrilling the game is when batters put the ball in play and dash around the bases, instead of occasionally trotting around them and mostly whiffing, whiffing, and whiffing.
