Blue Jays Handed 3-2 Loss by Kansas City
Kauffman Stadium was the site of a competitive game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals.

In a tight contest between the Kansas City Royals and the Toronto Blue Jays, Brad King was the determining factor. The Kansas City right-hander sparkled in his team's 3-2 win. D.J. Gabler got the save, his 14th in 19 chances.

Had Mike Johnson not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Johnson hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Royals.

"Tough loss," said Toronto manager Jim McDonald. "But we'll learn from it."

Kansas City goes to 68-51. The win puts them 11 games up in their division.
