Late Rally Earns Kansas City 6-5 Win
The Kansas City Royals overcame a pretty good performance by Toronto second baseman Nick Maruschak, beating the Blue Jays, 6-5, at Kauffman Stadium. Maruschak went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Kansas City is 4th in the American League Central Division with a record of 54-60.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Kansas City catcher Jason Johnson, facing Bryan Bassett, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Royals the 6-5 win.

"Winning is always a team effort," Johnson said after the game.
