The Kansas City Royals have won 10 straight postseason games, including seven this season during their first playoff appearance in 29 years.

The Royals have a 3-0 lead over the Baltimore Orioles in the ALCS. They swept the Los Angeles Angels in the ALDS and defeated the Oakland Athletics in the Wild Card Game.

"We've got a snowball effect going right now," Billy Butler said. "The confidence couldn't be any higher. That's when you come to the park each day, focus on the next pitch, focus on your job and just not be the guy to end the streak."

Kansas City will send Jason Vargas to the mound for Game 4 on Wednesday, trying to advance to its first World Series since 1985.

"We've got to zone in on the task at hand," Greg Holland said. "They're not going to lay down. We understand that."
