The Royals used a 5 run 6th inning to take game 2.  In the inning Giants reliever Hunter Strickland gave up a home run that sparked words between him and several Royals.

I'm not sure what set Strickland off, it could've been he was originally mad at himself.  The home run Strickland gave up was the 5th this postseason.  Not to mention he only pitched in 7 innings at the major league level before the postseason.

Whatever it was he ended up in a shouting match with Salvador Perez, who didn't even hit the home run, and then ended up yelling at several Royals.

Tempers cooled after the incident and the Royals coasted to a 7-2 victory.

The Royals battled back from a 7-3 deficit to tie the game at 7 in the 9th inning and send the game into extra inning. It remained a tie game until the top of the 12th when the A's scored a run to make it 8-7.

That set up another Royals comeback and an exciting finish to the start of the postseason.  Salvador Perez won the game with a single in the bottom of the 12th with two outs and two on to send the Royals to the ALDS.
