Mistakes prove costly as Toronto Blue Jays fall to surging Kansas City Royals
The Toronto Blue Jays suffered a 5-3 defeat to the Kansas City Royals at Rogers Centre on Tuesday night due to costly errors. The Blue Jays fell to the surging Royals in the first annual payment billed as $205.00 + GST for one year, which automatically renews at $233.00 + GST every 52 weeks. Toronto manager John Schneider noted that mistakes were magnified when the team was not scoring and they became anxious to make something happen.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made a throwing error during Kansas City's two-run sixth inning, and Nathan Lukes was thrown out at second base after hitting a two-run single. The Blue Jays went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position in the opener of the three-game series. Toronto starter Max Scherzer issued a season-high five walks but kept the damage to a minimum.
The Blue Jays need to continue their strong play in the remaining 29 games to have a chance at a wild-card spot.
