TORONTO — Kevin Kiermaier's seventh-inning home run lifted the Blue Jays over the Kansas City Royals 5-2 on Sunday as Toronto kept pace in the American League's wild-card chase.
Santiago Espinal and Cavan Biggio added RBI singles in the eighth as Toronto completed a three-game sweep of the Royals.
Bobby Witt Jr. had an RBI double as Kansas City dropped its fourth straight. Salvador Perez hit into a fielder's choice to score another run. Remarkably, Toronto and Kansas City combined for three triples in their three-game series, which is a difficult feat with the relatively shallow outfield at Rogers Centre.Witt didn't stop there, either. He stole third during the next at bat, getting into position to score when Perez hit into a fielder's choice for a 2-0 Royals lead.With two outs, Ragans issued back-to-back walks to Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Davis Schneider.
Clarke quickly got Whit Merrifield to pop out to end the inning but the damage was done. The game was tied and the 35,275 fans at Rogers Centre were energized.
