					| Blue Jays Prevail, 5-4, Over Kansas City |  
					| The Toronto Blue Jays overcame a fine performance by Kansas City second baseman Mike Jaquez to defeat the Royals, 5-4, at Rogers Centre. Jaquez belted 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice.   The winning pitcher was Spencer Jones. He tossed 110 pitches over 8 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits. Zach Ault notched his 15th save in 18 chances. 
 Nate Dean, who is a three-time All-Star, helped out the Toronto cause in the bottom of the first inning with a run-scoring  walk. For the game, the shortstop drew 1 walk in 4 trips to the plate.
 
 "Our guys are never satisfied," said Toronto manager Max Meany.
 
 Toronto is now 73-35, 5½ games up in the American League East Division.
