Dominant Performance by Saunders in Toronto Win
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Edward Saunders was all business, helping his team muzzle the Kansas City Royals, 4-0. Zach Ault converted his 11th save in 11 tries. The Blue Jays lead the American League East Division by 5½ games.

Saunders earned the win, going 7 strong innings for Toronto. The right-hander allowed just 2 hits, while striking out 7. Kansas City hitters had little success against him.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Toronto skipper Max Meany.
