Estrada's bounceback a bright spot in loss
Marco Estrada hurls for seven strong frames as he strikes out six while only letting up five hits in a solid day against the RoyalsKANSAS CITY -- The Blue Jays were handed another frustrating loss on Saturday, but there was at least some consolation: Marco Estrada looked like his former efficient self.
Plagued by a 12.67 ERA through four June starts, Estrada turned back the pages by limiting the Royals to five hits and three runs over seven innings in a 3-2 Toronto loss.
But those numbers don't really tell how well Estrada pitched. A couple of catchable fly balls off Alcides Escobar's bat fell to the grass, which loomed large in producing two of the three Kansas City runs.
