Alex Rios #36 of the Kansas City Royals yells as both dugouts empty onto the field after a hit by pitch in the eighth inning during MLB game action against the Toronto Blue Jays on August 2, 2015 at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images/AFPLess than three weeks ago, the Detroit Tigers dropped two of three games to the Kansas City Royals, the first American League team to win 80 games this season.
And this weekend at the Rogers Centre the Blue Jays treated the Motown Cats like manager Buddy Bell’s 1996 Tabbies, who lost 109 times.
The Jays outscored the Tigers 30-6 in the three-game hurry, hurry, HARD sweep and now have 74 wins, second most in the AL.
