Vets Shields, Lester to tangle as playoffs return to KC

Following 28 long years without the thrill every team covets every year, Kansas City will host its first postseason game since 1985, an October journey that ended with the only World Series title in 59 years of Major League Baseball there. The Royals will host the A’s at 8:07 p.m. ET on Tuesday on TBS, featuring a marquee mound matchup between right-hander James Shields (14-8, 3.21 ERA) and A’s left-hander Jon Lester (16-11, 2.46 ERA).
