Blue Jays Come Back Late, Nip Royals
Starting pitcher Spencer Jones was a major factor in the 2-1 Toronto Blue Jays triumph over the Kansas City Royals. Toronto pitcher Hoof Harted got the win, upping his record to 6-7. Chris Eaker got the loss. The American League East Division-leading Blue Jays have a record of 57-34.

Toronto used the timely hitting of Michael Byrd to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Jones called winning a team effort. "It's not the same guy every time," he said. "It's the sum of the parts."
