Blue Jays Lose Late, 8-6
The Kansas City Royals topped the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-6, with youngster Mike Jaquez playing a key role. Jaquez hit 2 home runs for the Royals in the win. Kansas City reliever Tom Jensen picked up the win to move to 2-0. Tim Franco suffered the loss. Kansas City goes to 9-9.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Aaron Matthews came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Toronto pitcher Tim Franco, he hit a 1-1 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Kansas City on top, 8-6.

"Enjoyed this one," Jaquez told the Kansas City Citizen. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
