In Game 6, with the team down in the series 3–2, Ventura threw seven shut out innings forcing a game seven.

On October 8, Ventura pitched Game 1 of the 2015 ALDS against the Houston Astros, exiting after two innings and giving up three earned runs in what became a 5–2 loss.[25] In Game 4 on October 12 he pitched 5 innings in a 9–6 win over the Astros. Ventura gave up the lead in the fifth inning, but the Royals rallied to score seven runs off the Houston bullpen.[26] Ventura started Game 2 of the ALCS on October 17 against the Toronto Blue Jays, allowing 3 runs in a 6–3 Kansas City victory.[27] He also pitched in Game 6 of that series on October 23, allowing only one run. Kansas City won 4–3 and advanced to the World Series. [28] In Game 3 of the World Series against the New York Mets, Ventura gave up five runs and was the losing pitcher. In five postseason games he pitched to a 6.43 ERA and did not earn a win.[29]
He finished the 2016 season with a 11–12 win-loss record and a 4.45 ERA.[32]
Death
On January 22, 2017, Ventura died in a car accident in the city of Juan Adrián, in his native country of the Dominican Republic. He lost control of his custom Jeep Wrangler which flipped over while attempting to turn on a mountain road. Ventura was thrown out of his vehicle and was presumed dead by the time the authorities arrived.[32][34][35]
