Royals Lose to Blue Jays, 8-1
The Toronto Blue Jays picked up a win at Rogers Centre, dropping the Kansas City Royals, 8-1. Zack Littell, who is tied for 10th in the AL in quality starts with 3, was the difference-maker. In 6.1 innings, Littell surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. The Royals drop to 14-16 and continue their mediocre start to the 2024 season.

In the bottom of the second, Toronto center fielder Drew Waters had a productive at-bat. With runners on 1st and 2nd and one out, Waters stroked a run-scoring single to center. It made the score 1-0, Toronto. For the game, he was 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 2.

"Zack's not intimidated by who's stepping into the batter's box," said Toronto manager Tracy Kineast.
