Royals Need Extra Innings to Top Blue Jays, 3-2
Behind the hitting of Mike Meyerhoff, the Kansas City Royals stopped the Toronto Blue Jays, 3-2. Meyerhoff went 3-5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Royals. Getting the save was Asa Hahn, his 13th. Their 44-40 record puts the Royals third in the American League Central Division.

Meyerhoff had a game-changing home run in the top of the tenth. On a 2-1 knuckleball from Hoof Harted, he banged a solo home run to right, giving the Royals a 3-2 lead. It was the 20th home run of the year for Meyerhoff.

"It was terrific getting this win," Meyerhoff said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
