Royals Lose Contest, 9-7
Blue Jays first baseman Vic Rivera left his imprint on his team's 9-7 win over the Kansas City Royals. Rivera went 4 for 4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Toronto in the contest. The winning pitcher was Brian Raymer. He's now 3-0. He went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits for the Blue Jays. The win moves Toronto to a record of 9-10.

Nick Maruschak had a big 2-run home run for the Blue Jays in the bottom of the second inning. With Toronto trailing 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a fastball from Hugo Coates, who finished 3rd in the AL in wins with 18 in 2101, and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Blue Jays on top, 2-1.

After the game, Maruschak lauded his team's effort. "We kept our focus on the task at hand," he said.
