Toronto rode a fine outing from starter Spencer Jones to victory over the Kansas City Royals at Rogers Centre. The final score was 4-2. Zach Ault picked up the save, his 9th. The Blue Jays have an impressive 56-25 record.

The Blue Jays got an important contribution from first baseman Danny Burnside, who in the bottom of the third hit a fastball into right-center for a 2-run double. It was his 12th double of the season and put the Blue Jays ahead, 4-1.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Toronto manager Max Meany. "Our pregame was pretty good."
