Blue Jays Victorious at Kansas City, 5-2
At Kauffman Stadium, the Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

Toronto turned a good effort from starter Keith Raisor into a win over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The final score was 5-2. John Ferch closed the door for Toronto, picking up his 22nd save of the year.

Toronto won the game in part because of Jesus Pantoja. The first baseman ripped a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 4-1. For the game, Pantoja had 2 doubles and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

Pantoja attributed the win to "concerted effort and focus."

Toronto has a record of 61-83, placing them 4th in the American League East Division.
