TORONTO (AP) — Teoscar Hernandez's hot bat is going to force the Blue Jays into a tough decision sometime soon.
Hernandez had four hits, including a two-run home run, Curtis Granderson hit his ninth career grand slam and the Blue Jays routed Kansas City 15-5 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep of the Royals, losers of eight straight.
Hernandez singled and scored in the first, homered in the third, flied out in the fourth, singled in the sixth and hit a two-run triple in the seventh. It was the first four-hit game of his career.
"He can't play any better," manager John Gibbons said.
