Royals Clip Blue Jays, 7-6
The Toronto Blue Jays got a sterling performance from shortstop Brian Jones, but the Kansas City Royals still prevailed, 7-6. Jones was 2-2 with a home run and a triple. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Kansas City pitcher Rick Whitley got the win. He's now 6-2. Victor Urueta was tagged with the loss. Kansas City, now 50-63, holds down last place in the American League Central Division.

Danny Bonilla was the walk-off hero for Kansas City. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Royals first baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Royals manager Connor Gould. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
