Efrain Vargas had a good game, but he could not keep the Toronto Blue Jays from falling, 5-4, to the Kansas City Royals at Rogers Centre. The Toronto first baseman was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 in the loss. With the victory, the Royals upped their record to 62-42.

Mike Meyerhoff, the eight-time All-Star , had a direct impact on the outcome. Meyerhoff contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the ninth inning to put Kansas City up, 5-4.

"You get some opportunities, you better take advantage of them," said Toronto manager Max Meany.
