KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Following two days of having been handcuffed by their visitors from the North, the Kansas City Royals hitters suddenly heated up and carried the day. They produced their highest run total in three and a half weeks, and they did it without the aid of the home run.
The Royals, who’d been shut out in each of their previous two games, swatted five extra-base hits and six players drove in runs in an 8-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon in front of an announced 12,196 at Kauffman Stadium.
With the win, the Royals (18-37) avoided being swept in the three-game series.
