TORONTO -- It may have been the greatest throw of Royals left fielder Alex Gordon's career. It mostly likely was the longest assist.
Gordon, a two-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove Award winner, threw out Edwin Encarnacion at the plate to end the bottom of the fourth inning at Rogers Centre on Monday night with a laser from deep left field. In the end, it wasn't enough for Kansas City, as the Blue Jays blew open a tight game late and won, 6-2.
But at the time Kevin Pillar singled with Encarnacion on second, it was 1-0 Blue Jays.
