The Kansas City Royals moved to within one game of the World Series, downing the Texas Rangers on the road at Ameriquest Field in Arlington by a score of 8-3. Royals right-hander Ty Hartshorn had a strong outing. He threw 8.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The win gives the Royals a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

With no one out in the top of the seventh, Andy LaRoche barreled up a fastball from Tom Gorzelanny. The result was a 2-run home run, putting the Royals in front, 4-1.

"I felt good up there," said LaRoche. "I saw the ball well."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Friday, October 20th , 2006.
