TORONTO — The excitement and enthusiasm of the previous night didn’t simply fade away for the Kansas City Royals, but they were definitely brought back down to Earth a little bit by a motivated Toronto Blue Jays ball club on Friday night.
Royals veteran pitcher Zack Greinke, who won a Cy Young Award when some of his current teammates were still playing Little League, couldn’t duplicate the scoreless outing he put together in his previous start.
Greinke allowed four runs, three earned, on eight hits in four innings. Greinke gave up a home run and struck out three in the 8-1 loss to the Blue Jays in front of an announced 26,422 in the second game of a four-game series at Rogers Centre.
