Royals Suffer One-Run Loss at Toronto
|
In a tightly-contested game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Kansas City Royals, pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was outstanding. The Toronto right-hander, who is tied for 2nd in the AL in quality starts with 5, propelled his team's 2-1 win. Paul Sewald finished to wrap up his 9th save. The loss drops the Royals to 14-17.
Jorge Soler dealt the Royals a blow in the bottom of the third. Batting with runners on 1st and 2nd and Toronto leading 1-0, Soler, who finished 4th in the AL in extra base hits with 82 in 2019, hit a 2-2 sinker for a run-scoring single.
"That's how you're going to be successful," said Blue Jays manager Tracy Kineast. "It starts with pitching and it will always be pitching."
