The Toronto Blue Jays marched over the Kansas City Royals, 16-3, at Kauffman Stadium. Alfredo Salinas, who finished 2nd in the AL in slugging percentage with .562 last year, led the charge. He was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit 2 times. He scored 4 times and drove in 3. The winning pitcher was Robert Stephenson. He tossed 100 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. The third-place Blue Jays have won 4 straight.

With Toronto leading 6-3 in the top of the eighth, Salinas hit a cutter from Juan Garza for a 3-run home run. It was his 16th home run of the season and put the Blue Jays ahead, 9-3.

Said losing manager Jim Tracy: "They put the hurt on us, that's for sure."
