Day 5 of the Showdown Cup is complete and we have some very interesting standings. The Kansas City Royals and that bullpen pull out another game to remain unbeaten at 3-0 while the Yankees Blue Jays and Astros are all 1-2, something that I certainly wasn't expecting as I figured all three teams would probably move on to the next round. With 4 games remaining for all the American League teams it will be interesting to see who can finish in that top 4.
