Game Summary
Toronto Blue Jays defeated Kansas City Royals 3-0. Toronto’s offense was carried by Nathan Lukes, whose three-run homer in the bottom of the fourth produced all the scoring; Jesús Sánchez added a two-hit game and scored, and Carter Jensen reached twice and stirred the offense with a walk and a stolen base. The three-run fourth inning was the decisive turning point. Randy Dobnak took the loss after allowing three runs on six hits over six innings with five strikeouts. Toronto’s bullpen preserved the shutout, with Chad Dallas earning the win by working 2.2 scoreless innings with four strikeouts and Louis Varland closing with a scoreless 1.1-inning save.
