Blue Jays Beat Royals in 10
The Toronto Blue Jays topped the Kansas City Royals by a score of 4-3 in 10 innings. Leading the way was left fielder Zack Baize. Baize went 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Blue Jays. Picking up the save was 26-year old right-handed pitcher Jay Courtney. Their 65-48 record puts the Blue Jays first in the American League East Division.

Alberto Castaneda came through with a big-time hit for Toronto. The first baseman smacked a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to give his team the lead, 4-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Sometimes winning takes more than 27 outs," said Blue Jays manager Dan Silva.
