Through six games, the Royals had been shut out three times. And after being down 6-0 through six innings, it looked like the struggling offense was on its way to another blanking, down. The offense, however, rallied late and even brought the tying run to the plate in the 8th, but ultimately came up short in a 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Royals’ starter Jordan Lyles got off to a rough start in the 1st. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled and moved to 3rd on Daulton Varsho’s double. The Blue Jays took advantage on the Royal killer Matt Chapman’s two-RBI double, giving Toronto an early 2-0 lead in the first frame.
