Blue Jays Bang Out 7-5 Win Versus Kansas City
The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Kansas City Royals, 7-5, at Rogers Centre. Toronto shortstop Elvis Andrus was named player of the game for his superb performance. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Reliever Jake Diekman picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Jordan Zimmermann took the loss. The save went to Nathan Eovaldi, his 1st this season.

Andrus had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 0-1 fastball from Jordan Zimmermann, he banged a solo home run to left, giving the Blue Jays a 5-4 lead. It was the 5th home run of the year for Andrus.

"It's great to be on a roll," said Andrus.

Toronto, at 15-3, has sizzled in the early going.
