Royals Bang Out 6-1 Win Versus Toronto
|
The Kansas City Royals topped the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-1, in American League action at Rogers Centre. The player of the game was Kansas City pitcher and Baton Rouge, Louisiana native Aaron Nola. Nola, now 3-0, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 3 hits, while striking out 8, walking 1, and allowing 1 earned run. Losses have been few and far between for the Blue Jays, who are now 15-4.
Luis Valbuena, who is tied for 7th in the AL in home runs with 5, aided the Kansas City cause with a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth. For the game, the third baseman was 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.
"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Kansas City manager Bryce Shuck.
