Royals Fall Short, 5-4, at Toronto
The Toronto Blue Jays had to overcome a fine effort from Kansas City pitcher Willie Jeffries to win, 5-4, at Rogers Centre. Jeffries went 6.1 innings and allowed 1 run. John Phillips notched his 16th save in 20 chances. The Blue Jays sport a record of 34-57.

Toronto took a 4-3 lead on Mike Comadena's 6th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Comadena hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Kansas City pitcher Juan Canales visibly frustrated.

Toronto manager Kyle Lamb was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys played hard," he said.
