Toronto second baseman Dee Gordon was a significant contributor in his team's 12-3 triumph over the Kansas City Royals. He went 4-6 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3 for Toronto. Toronto is now 77-42, 10 games up in the American League East Division.

Jorge Soler contributed to the Toronto win with a solo home run in the top of the second. For the game, the designated hitter had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.

"We're in a funk and we need to shake ourselves out of it," said Kansas City manager Bryce Shuck.
